Riverfront East Hartford 5 Mile
The Riverfront East Hartford 5 Mile is scheduled for Thursday, August 27, 2026, in East Hartford on the riverfront at Goodwin University. The event is an evening five mile road race held as part of a summer series of Thursday races.
The course is described as an entirely different riverfront route from the other series races. After the race, participants can cool off on the great lawn and access an ice cold craft brew from New England Brewing Company for those 21 and older with ID. Each race participant receives a pair of custom designed technical socks and a mini mac attack from Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ.
This race is the August component of the Riverfront Summer Series, a trio of Thursday evening events that celebrate moving with friends and summer evenings. The series includes:
- Hartford Riverfront 5K in June
- Redesigned Riverfront 4 Mile in July on a different Hartford course
- Riverfront 5 Mile in East Hartford in August
