    Runner Requirements & Information

         You must be able to complete the Marathon in 6 hours or less.
     
    You must be at least 16 years of age on race day to enter the Marathon. 
           
    You must be 12 years of age on race day to enter the Half Marathon. 
           
        There is no minimum age requirement for members of a Relay Team.
           
    All participants (parent/guardian if minor) must sign a Hartford Marathon Foundation waiver form. 
           
    You must show a Photo ID to pick up your race packet. 
       

    Why do we ask for a photo ID?  There are several reasons, but it can be boiled down to liability and security risks to both HMF and the athletes participating in the race. In addition, due to limited space and increased demand in the race, the risk of perpetration of fraud by those who were unable to register due to the closing of the event are far higher than ever before. Thus, for the convenience and certainty of those who did pay their fee to register, it is necessary that those individuals be assured of a place at the starting line without the hassle of having to replace a bib and D-Tag previously assigned to them but stolen by an imposter.

           

          In order to meet your needs, we will allow someone else to pick up your race packet provided the following are presented:
    - Signed Waiver Form (PDF download) completed by you
    - Copy of your photo identification
           
    RELAY TEAMS
       

    Please follow the above instructions to pick up someone else’s packet.  The first team member who picks up will need to bring a signed waiver form and a photo copy id for each team member in order to receive the entire team package.  It is up to the team to distribute the bibs to each team member. The registration desk will not split up the set. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. 

    If you are adding a member to your relay team who is not coming in person to packet pickup, you will need to bring a completed application form, a signed copy of the waiver form and a copy of his/her photo ID.

           
    EXPRESS PASS

        All registrants will receive an Express Pass.  Registrants with a valid email address will receive an Express Pass seven days before the event..  The Express Pass will provide assigned bib number for packet pickup.  Read more details on the Express Pass if you do not receive an email.
