The
Experience
The Eversource Hartford Marathon weekend typically draws roughly 10,000 race participants, 2,000 volunteers, and 20,000 spectators. It is one of Connecticut’s largest community events, and it’s about more than just crossing a finish line. It’s about being part of something bigger from start to finish, and the energy is unmatched!
Participants will be in the heart of the city, running past the Connecticut State Capitol, through West Hartford neighborhoods, and crossing the iconic Founders Bridge. The finish line is at Bushnell Park, where the end of the race is really just beginning.
The Finish Line Expo & Charity Village includes:
A dedicated Next Girl Up booth to call your home base
Fresh food in the Athlete Food Tent
A Beer Garden with music and local brews
Spaces to relax and recover with friends and family
Be Part Of
Something
Bigger
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or fundraise, you’ll be empowering the next generation of girls to lead with confidence, creativity, and courage. Join us on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Hartford, CT!
