Move With The Urban League

About the Event

Come together in a community party to encourage each other to MOVE! Celebrate with a 5K or 1 Mile run and walk, free Movement Festival and live entertainment in Hartford’s Keney Park with Urban League of Greater Hartford.

The 5K and 1 Mile distances both welcome participants of all abilities, ages and fitness levels to run or walk before they enjoy a summer morning Movement Festival with a free kids run, variety of fitness activities, healthy snacks, giveaways and live entertainment. Explore Hartford’s historic Keney Park in this inspiring event and encourage others to join you. The $20 event fee for adults and $10 fee for ages 13-21 includes a cotton shirt; kids 12 and under can participate in the 5K, 1 Mile and/or kids run for free (shirt available for purchase).

The 5K (3.1 miles) and 1 Mile routes are fun for runners and walkers, with start and finish near the Woodland Street entrance to Keney Park. The route and all festivities are within the park, which features shade areas, meadows and forests and is one of New England’s largest public parks!

This event has been made possible through the generous support of Pratt & Whitney.

All proceeds go toward helping the Urban League of Greater Hartford’s work to improve racial equity and economic empowerment through education, employment, housing, health and social justice programs.
