Description

_ The 2019 Greater Hartford 1/4 Marathon:

Welcome to the 13th Anniversary edition of the Greater Hartford 1/4 Marathon. As the race directors have moved to New Hampshire, this is the final year the original race directors will be leading this race.

This is an accurately measured 6.55 Mile USATF Certified Course (CT07002JHP). Course is a double loop on the closed, paved red trail around the Farmington and West Hartford reservoirs. There are no turns, no cars and no intersections. Each loop features a rolling first mile, a climb during the second mile and a significant downhill to flat during the third mile. (Yes, there are hills, but this is New England so we call them rollers).

Water stations will be set-up at approximately miles 1.5, 3.3 and 4.8. The water station at mile 3.3 will also be stocked with Gatorade Endurance and gels in a variety of flavors. If temperatures are predicted to exceed 70 degrees, we will also stock the aid stations at miles 1.5 and 4.8 with Gatorade Endurance.

RACE FIELD IS LIMITED TO 550 RUNNERS. THE RACE SOLD OUT IN 2011 - 2018 AND WILL OUT AGAIN IN 2019.
