Old Wethersfield 5K & 10K
The Old Wethersfield 5K & 10K is scheduled for Sunday, August 23, 2026, and is organized by the Hartford Marathon Foundation. Runners follow routes through historic, quaint streets and finish in Wethersfield Cove on an unpaved trail along the water.
Distances offered include:
- 5K single loop through historic streets
- 10K double loop through historic streets
- HMF FitKids 1/4, 1/2, or 1 mile for ages 2-11
Walkers are explicitly welcomed in the 5K. Each race participant receives a short sleeve technical shirt. After the races, grab and go snacks and fresh fruit are available in the cove.
The event is part of multi-race 5K and 10K Challenges that connect three separate races across the season. Those challenge series provide custom swag at each race and a commemorative medal for completing the series. The challenges begin in Middletown in April, continue at UConn Health in June, and conclude with Old Wethersfield in August.
The event lists a charity partner, Ava’s Way, which supports individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome and other neuro-developmental disorders. There is also an HMF CAN tent for nonperishable food donations near packet pickup to support the Hartford Public High School Grub Pub school food pantry program.
