The Eversource Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon are both qualifiers for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials. We are also a Boston qualifier, please see details on our FAQs page – you’ll learn some other really important stuff there too!
As always, the courses are all USA Track & Field Certified. This is a very precise process, courses are measured by a standard bicycle fitted with a calibrated mechanical counter on the front wheel. A legit certified certifier follows their 100-page manual of rules to ensure the precise, exact course measure is achieved.
Any questions about the race course, there’s sure to be an answer on our Web site, use the menu tabs on the left side to help direct you. Put all of this information at your finger tips with our mobile app, download it for iPhone or Android today!
