Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT

Running in the Hartford metro splits between flat riverside courses along the Connecticut River and the modest hills of West Hartford's Beachland Park loop. The Come on Over 5K and Footprints on our Hearts Walk & 5K anchor local participation, though serious runners often head north into the Litchfield Hills for elevation. Cyclists favor the flat river valley for training rides and criterium racing like the ShopRite Nutmeg State Games Criterium, but the ERRACE 100/50/25 mile events draw the region's endurance cyclists into longer routes across central Connecticut.
