The 14th annual Colony Grill "Hot Oil" 5K will take place in downtown Fairfield, 1520 Post Road. Fairfield University is a major sponsor of the event, with many student-athletes, cheer, and dance team members joining in on the fun and helping out on race day.

Starbucks, located at the Fairfield University Store (1499 Post Road, across the street), will open early for the race at 8 a.m. Join in on cheering for Fairfield runners from across the street of the finish line.
