Old Wethersfield 5K & 10K
The Old Wethersfield 5K & 10K is scheduled for Sunday, August 23, 2026. The courses run through historic, quaint streets and finish at Wethersfield Cove on an unpaved trail along the water. The 10K is contested as a double loop of the same course used for the 5K.
- 5K single loop through historic streets
- 10K double loop of the 5K course
- HMF FitKids races: 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, 1 mile for ages 2 to 11
Walkers are welcome in the 5K. Each race participant receives a short sleeve technical shirt. After the races participants are provided grab-and-go snacks and fresh fruit in the cove.
The event includes a multi-race 5K and 10K challenge series that links three unique courses across the season, with custom swag at each race and a commemorative medal awarded for completing the series. The series begins in Middletown in April, continues with UConn Health in June, and concludes with Old Wethersfield in August.
New in 2026, the HMF Milestone membership program offers member perks such as a custom birthday gift, access to member-only wait lists for sold out events, and personalized bibs at selected events. A fee-based Milestone plus option adds specialty apparel, extra loyalty rewards, and a Mail My Packet service.
The event partners with Wethersfield based Ava’s Way, which advocates for individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome and other neuro-developmental disorders. The HMF Can collection near Packet Pickup accepts nonperishable food donations to support the Hartford Public High School Grub Pub program. The event was sold out in 2025.
