We work with the Hartford Marathon Foundation to help create a race that is not only fun and family-friendly—live music, good food, swag and a beer garden—but also sustainable.

The Eversource Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon has been nationally recognized for its comprehensive waste-reduction and sustainability efforts while putting on a marathon, half marathon, team 26.2 relay, charity 5K and FitKids event.

This annual event has raised more than $9.2 million for charities, helping a premiere charity, a gold charity and 18 silver charities this year.
