Run, Walk, Repeat to Become Stamford’s “Local Legend”


Local Businesses Partner to Launch the Connecticut Burrito League!


Stamford, CT  – Two of Stamford’s top running clubs, City Girls Who Walk and Runners Collective, partner with Masa Taco Bar, New York Comedy Club, Hey Stamford!, and Hideout Sauna Club to launch Connecticut’s first-ever official Burrito League.

  • 1 Year of VIP Golden Ticket Membership to New York Comedy Club Stamford
  • 3 Passes to Hideout Sauna Club to experience social sauna and cold plunges
  • 1 T-shirt of your choice from Hey Stamford!


*Additionally, all participants will receive discounts from the sponsors
