5K & 10K CHALLENGES: Motivate the running season with these two NEW multi-race goals. A great reason to keep up the effort with three unique 5K or 10K courses, custom swag at each race, and a commemorative medal to be proud of at the completion of the series. Start off in Middletown in April, then join the UConn Health in June and end with Old Wethersfield in August to earn an extra commemorative medal for the extra efforts. 

HMF FitKids: Bring the whole family and enjoy the kids run with options of a ¼ mile, ½ mile or 1 mile (for kids ages 2-11)!

NEW in 2026! Join the free HMF Milestone membership program to get exclusive perks, including custom birthday gift, access to member-only wait lists for sold out events and personalized bibs at select events. Optional HMF Milestone+ enhanced fee-based membership offers all free perks plus choice of specialty member apparel, extra loyalty rewards and one free Mail My Packet service (available at premier events).
