Vicki Soto 5K to Close Stratford Roads Saturday
Affected roads will be closed 8 a.m. to noon.
The Stratford Police Department is conducting a planned road closure Saturday for the first annual Vicki Soto 5K.
The Lordship race is in honor of Victoria Soto, the Newtown teacher from Stratford who was slain in the school shooting on Dec. 14, 2012.
More than 2,100 people have registered and hundreds more are expected to attend, says event organizer James Wiltsie, Soto’s cousin.
