The Norwalk City Traffic Authority on Nov. 17 approved a road closure for the Boston Build Up 10K scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026.

An event representative identified in the meeting transcript as “Mr. Gerweck” (the transcript also refers to “Mr. Gerwig”) presented the race route and map, saying the route is the same as past years. The police department reported no objections or operational concerns. The authority approved the closure by voice vote.

The mayor asked whether any police concerns had arisen; the police representative said the event had been run previously without incident. No public commenters raised objections during public participation, and the authority carried the motion unanimously.

The decision means the organizer can proceed with required permitting and police coordination for traffic control and signage as planned for the Jan. 4 event.
