Old Wethersfield 5K and 10K

About the Event

Run the single-loop 5K or double-loop 10K through historic, quaint streets with a finish in scenic Wethersfield Cove on an unpaved trail along the water. This end of summer running tradition also welcomes walkers in the 5K.

Each race participant will earn a short sleeve technical shirt. After the race, enjoy grab and go snacks and fresh fruit in the cove.

New in 2024: Enjoy miles along the water of three Connecticut running destinations in the River Run challenge. Start on May 5 with the Burlington to Collinsville Classic 10K along the Farmington River, then the Riverfront 5K on June 27 along the Connecticut River in Hartford; and finish the challenge with either distance in Old Wethersfield by the Cove to earn the special River Run challenge commemorative finisher medal. 

Give Back: Please help give back to the community. Donate nonperishable food in the HMF Can tent at Packet Pickup to support local schools through the Stop & Shop School Food Pantry Program.

Run to support Connecticut Children’s Alliance in their mission to avail comprehensive statewide services to all child abuse victims and their families through collaboration, systemic change, public awareness, prevention, education, training, and advocacy.
