MANCHESTER, CT The Manchester Road Race is donating $40,000 to four nonprofit organizations this month, despite the coronavirus pandemic forcing the race into virtual mode last November.
It was the first time since 1945 that the annual race was not staged in Manchester on Thanksgiving morning
The first-ever Virtual Manchester Road Race attracted approximately 2,000 registered runners who used the MRR s proprietary app on their smartphones while they ran the 4.748-mile distance at locations throughout Connecticut, the United States, and in several foreign countries during the week prior to Thanksgiving.
Four organizations will receive a total of $40,000.

MANCHESTER, Conn. The Manchester Road Race is maintaining its commitment to charitable giving after holding the annual Fall event like never before due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 health crisis forced organizers to cancel the traditional Turkey Day run through Manchester s streets last November, marking the first time since 1945 that the annual holiday race was not held.
Instead, the MRR committee held a virtual road race, which still had 2,000 runners commit to running the 4.748-mile distance in locations across the world.
On Monday, the group announced that its decades-long tradition of charitable giving continues with a donation of $40,000 to four non-profit organizations.
