Run the single-loop 5K or double-loop 10K through historic, quaint streets with a finish in scenic Wethersfield Cove on an unpaved trail along the water. This end of summer running tradition also welcomes walkers in the 5K.
Each race participant will earn a short sleeve technical shirt. After the race, enjoy grab and go snacks and fresh fruit in the cove.
5K &amp; 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. <a href="https://www.hartfordmarathon.com/old-wethersfield-5k-10k/?page_id=951" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DETAILS</a>

A spectacular beach race featuring stunning views! The half marathon course runs into the pristine neighborhoods of Watch Hill first before entering Weekapaug and running along the coastline and through the picturesque beach community. The Surftown Half Marathon, presented by Westerly Hospital, is a destination race not to miss, with additional distance options available.
The 2-person relay gives runners a chance to experience part of the awesome Surftown Half course split with a buddy for 5.1 mile and 8 mile legs. Relay participants exchange within walking distance of the pre/post-race area.
The 5K race offers a 3.1 mile beachy run to remember! The flat and fast course travels out-and-back along Winnapaug Pond and the Misquamicut beach community and starts shortly after the 13.1 mile race kicks off.
All participants earn a funky beach-themed finisher medal, a high quality short sleeve technical shirt and a post-race party by the beach with Flanders Fish Market chowder and a complimentary ice-cold beer from Grey Sail Brewing (21+ w/ID only).
TRI-STATE TRIPLE: A great excuse to explore southern New England and keep moving through the fall! Pick and choose the distance of choice from three signature events that provide flexibility to meet new goals. Start in Surftown, then join the premier annual tradition at the Eversource Hartford Marathon, Half Marathon, Charity 5K or Team 26.2 Relay in October, and wrap up in November with the NoHo 5K/Western Mass 10, presented by Trinity Health Of New England Orthopedics. <a href="https://www.hartfordmarathon.com/surftown-half-marathon-relay-5k/?page_id=951" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DETAILS</a>

Mill Street Marketplace

The Makers Exchange is more than a market - it’s a gathering dedicated to supporting REAL ART AND HANDMADE WORK and the amazing people behind it. No AI generated anything. No 3D printed mass produced junk. No Temu resellers.
Please join us this June for a *very* thoughtfully curated outdoor market celebrating independent makers and small businesses. Every vendor has been intentionally selected to bring something special. From fine art and handcrafted goods to unique pieces you won’t find anywhere else. This is a space to connect with the artists behind the work, hear their stories, and discover something that feels meant for you.
You’ll be able to shop incredible work from artists like @shoppeofstuff, @endurvinnaa, @lunarforgedmaille, @toxic.moxie, @emberpinesco, @lil_momochi, @rudeplatesct, @bonealchemist, @uniques.curiosities, @ghostofthewoodsart (and so many more) whose pieces are featured on our flyer - and that’s just a glimpse of what’s in store!!!
We’re also so excited to have The Caffeine Coven (@thecaffeinecoven) on-site serving up their delicious, handcrafted drinks, plus the Craft Bird food truck bringing amazing eats so you can make an afternoon of it. 💁🏻‍♀️
Come wander, sip something yummy, grab a bite, and support small in a way that truly matters. Every purchase goes directly back into an artist’s hands, and that kind of exchange is powerful 🥹❤️
We can’t wait to see you there!!!
