Riverfront Hartford 5K
Thursday, June 26, 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 the popular Thursday evening 5K in Hartford, the first of three Riverfront races.
After the 3.1 mile race, cool off with a cold craft brew from New England Brewing Company and delicious food from Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ at the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza. 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.
