Hartford Marathon

The Eversource Hartford Marathon is a premier road race held annually in Hartford, Connecticut, featuring marathon, half marathon, team relay, and charity 5K events. The race starts in front of the Connecticut State Capitol and courses through scenic and welcoming neighborhoods, including West Hartford and Elizabeth Park. Marathon runners cross the Founders Bridge and run along the East Hartford riverfront before entering the rural charm of South Windsor, finishing near the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch in Bushnell Park.

The half marathon splits from the marathon route about eight miles in, offering a riverside run and a downtown finish under the Arch. The event emphasizes community engagement, safety, and celebration with post-race food, music, and a beer garden. Amenities include baggage check, pace teams, athlete tracking, and massage services, making it a well-supported and memorable race experience for runners of all levels.
