We have been busy planning every detail to ensure a safe and memorable return to the most exciting day in Hartford - race day!
The Eversource Hartford Marathon showcases the revitalized riverfront of
Hartford and East Hartford with breathtaking views of the Connecticut
River and classic New England charm of Old Main Street, South Windsor.
This
year, the Eversource Hartford Half Marathon will run with the marathon
for the first 11.5 miles before heading back downtown and through the
iconic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch.
Check out the marathon course
fly-over video with highlights to look for along the route, including
the Old State House, Dunkin' Donuts Park, Dillon Stadium, the historic
Colt Building, the East Hartford Riverfront and the historic homes along Old Main Street, South Windsor:
Check the 13.1 mile half marathon fly-over video HERE and read up on the COVID-19 Mitigation Plan for the details on all of the safety measures planned.
Remember, some very important things haven't changed - like the excitement of lining up at the start with the palatial backdrop of the Connecticut State Capitol. And, the jubilation of running through the grand finish, under the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch lined with an array of gorgeous autumn mums.
New this year, the presence of the locally designed Black Lives Matter mural welcoming finishers on Trinity Street provides an important symbol of racial justice to unite around. We run together, as equals, and we're proud to celebrate everyone who reaches their goal on this glorious finish line on October 9.
We hope to see you there! Register today at www.hartfordmarathon.com
