The 2026 Eversource Hartford Marathon is a New England autumn classic from the gold-domed CT State Capitol to Bushnell Park, Oct 10, 2026. It is a rolling Boston qualifier with a point-to-loop city and river course, starting on the front steps of the Connecticut State Capitol beside Bushnell Park, passing through Hartford's historic West End, crossing the Connecticut River, and finishing under the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch in Bushnell Park.

Why attend here

October in Hartford brings crisp air and vibrant foliage, perfect for a run past the gold-domed State Capitol and the historic homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. After crossing the Connecticut River and looping through Elizabeth Park's famous rose garden, reward yourself with a warm cider donut from a local farm stand or a hearty meal at a farm-to-table restaurant in the West End.
