Beer – so refreshing after a great run! We’re kicking up our beer game at the O’Hartford this year with help from our friends at Small State Great Beer.
A new post-race experience, the O'Hartford Craft Brew Pub in Bushnell Park will feature four Connecticut breweries offering on-tap selections. Huge IPA fan? Love a dark beer? You get to choose! Each runner can select their free beer of choice included with registration, beer tickets also available for purchase on site by spectators/runners for $5 (21+ with ID only).
If you’re interested in a real taproom beer tasting experience, order a pass to the exclusive Flight Deck! Choose four beers for sampling and take home the four commemorative 4 oz glasses and the custom-made beer paddle they’re served on. The Flight Deck is a heated tent limited to 125 people only, order in advance to secure your spot, $20 each.
