HMF Events (Hartford Marathon Foundation) would you also be able to post the winners from Norwich if possible? Brayden Dunn is a fantastic young man and so wonderful he won 🎉💪👏
Great race! It was my first time doing it but I’m planning on making it an annual tradition
Ever since I took up running, I've ended each year with this race. I like to finish each year on a high note and today did not disappoint. Thank you for all you did to make 2025 a memorable year for running. HMF is a Connecticut treasure. I will see you in 2026. Happy Holidays!!!
