About the race
The Celebrate! West Hartford FUNd Runs occur alongside the Town's two day outdoor festival and include a community 5K and a Kids' K. A portion of proceeds is donated to the Leisure Services Scholarship Fund to help children from low income families afford swimming lessons, vacation camps, and other programs.
- 5K road race, USATF certified course #CT24001JHP.
- Kids' K non timed 1K (.62 mile), 1 3/4 loops around Blue Back Square.
The 5K begins in the center of West Hartford on South Main Street near the Noah Webster statue and routes north past historical landmarks and homes. The course turns onto Craigmoor Road and then onto the Trout Brook Trail; participants leave the trail at Memorial Road and run past the Delamar Hotel to a finish between Raymond and Isham Roads. The description notes brook ducks and a resident eagle along the Trout Brook Trail.
The Kids' K is a non timed dash for younger participants; registered children age 10 and under receive a medal. Packet pickup is available at Fleet Feet, 1003 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford, and registration is also available there. Race day parking is available in Isham Garage, 17 Isham Road, and in Town Center Garage at 29 South Main Street.
Fees are published for the 5K and Kids' K and are non refundable. Free shirts are produced from a student design contest and are guaranteed to 5K runners who register by late May. The 5K includes an awards ceremony with age category prizes, trophies, and random drawings for registrants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
