Riverfront East Hartford 5 mile
Thursday, August 21, 2025
6:15 PM - 8:00 PM
Happy hour running along the river in the capital region returns with a series of race options. Kick off the summer weekend early with a brand new Thursday evening 5 mile race in East Hartford, capping off the three Riverfront events.
Enjoy an entirely different riverfront course and then, cool off with a cold craft brew from New England Brewing Company and delicious food from Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ. Pick up summertime swag and relax as the sun sets on a summer evening.
NEW! Riverfront Summer Series is a trio of varying race distances on Thursday evenings, a happy hour challenge that welcomes moving with friends and celebrating summer evenings. Comprised of Hartford’s Riverfront 5K in June, the Riverfront 4 Mile on a different Hartford course in July and the first-ever Riverfront 5 Mile in East Hartford in August. Series finishers will don quarter zips to boast their accomplishment.
