Started as a way to fundraise for Groton Parks and Recreation’s Adaptive Recreation Programs, the Tour de Noank has become somewhat of an annual tradition along the Connecticut shoreline. Whether participants run to set a personal best or take in the view with a leisurely stroll, the Tour de Noank is a great way to spend a Saturday morning supporting a worthy cause.
