Riverfront Hartford 4 Mile

Enjoy happy hour running along the river in the capital region with a series of race options. Kick off the summer weekend early with a Thursday evening 4 mile race in Hartford, the second of three Riverfront events. This redesigned scenic course offers great views of the Connecticut River along the way.

After the race, cool off with an ice cold craft brew from New England Brewing Company (21+ w/ID only) at the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza. Each race participant will earn a custom short-sleeve shirt and enjoy a mini mac attack from our friends at Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ.

Riverfront Summer Series: A trio of varying race distances on Thursday evenings, the multi-race series welcomes moving with friends and celebrating summer evenings. Comprised of Hartford’s Riverfront 5K in June, the redesigned Riverfront 4 Mile on a different Hartford course in July and the Riverfront 5 Mile in East Hartford in August. Series finishers will don a lightweight custom long sleeve tee to boast their accomplishment.
