The ING Greater Marathon continues on the new course introduced last year which showcawses the revitalized riverfront and neighborhoods of Hartford.

The new and improved course incorporates fewer turns and elevation increases, making the marathon more attractive to runners, while still offering a breathtaking view of the Connecticut River.

The half marathon, team relay and 5K also continue on the new course implemented in 2007. The entire route offers picturesque scenery and bright autumn foliage.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback on the new courses!!
