Eversource Hartford Marathon, Half Marathon, Relay & Charity 5K

The Eversource Hartford Marathon, Half Marathon, Relay & Charity 5K takes place annually in October in Hartford, Connecticut. All three individual races begin at 99 Trinity Street. Participants can select the full 42.2 km marathon, the 21.1 km half marathon, or the 5 km Charity 5K. Relay teams will cover the marathon distance collectively. The event has a history spanning over 30 years and attracts a diverse group of participants, not exclusively marathon experts. A recent running saw close to 10,000 runners and thousands of spectators in Bushnell Park. Attendees also participate as walkers, volunteers, corporate teams, and charity fundraisers. Official charity partners, including Donate Life Connecticut, utilize the marathon, half marathon, relay, and 5K to generate funds and support their causes.
