Eversource Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon

The Eversource Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon in Hartford features a marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km), a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km), a team relay and the Hartford Charity 5K, with the marathon, half marathon and 5K all starting at 8:00 a.m. on October 9, 2027. It is a leading traditional road race in New England, known for its polished organization and community involvement.

Starting from the Connecticut State Capitol, the course winds through West Hartford and its tree-lined streets, passes the historic rose garden at Elizabeth Park, crosses the Founders Bridge and runs through South Windsor before finishing under the iconic Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch. On race day, the atmosphere is fueled by live music, post-race celebrations in Bushnell Park and a lively beer garden. The relay and the 5K add variety, while charity partnerships give the event extra meaning. The weekend also includes a busy expo and an enthusiastic band at the start and finish.
