UConn Health Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The event features a scenic two loop 13.1 mile half marathon course along the Farmington River and nearby farmlands on Iron Horse. The weekend also includes 10K and 5K race distance options and a post-race gathering with food and craft beer.
Participants in all race distances receive a short-sleeve technical race shirt and a custom finisher medal. A HMF FitKids program offers runs of a quarter mile, half mile, or one mile for children ages 2 to 11.
Two multi-race challenge series are available. The 5K and 10K Challenges are three-race series with events in Middletown in April, UConn Health in June, and Old Wethersfield in August; each race includes unique swag and the series awards a commemorative medal. The Connecticut Double pairs the UConn Health Half in June with the Eversource Hartford Marathon in October; finishing both events earns an additional commemorative medal.
A membership program named HMF Milestone provides free perks such as a custom birthday gift, access to member only wait lists, and personalized bibs at select events. An enhanced HMF Milestone+ option offers specialty member apparel, extra rewards, and one Mail My Packet service.
Community engagement includes a Run For Good charity option and an HMF Can collection tent near Packet Pickup to support the Hartford Public High School Grub Pub food pantry program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
