A springtime road race through the idyllic campus of Wesleyan University in Middletown! Both races loop around campus, while the 5K finishes, the 10K takes another loop before a fast downhill finish on Old Church Street. The 10K is a USATF-CT State Championship race – expect an exciting, competitive race finish.

All finishers receive a high quality short sleeve technical shirt and enjoy a post-race party on Union Green, adjacent to the finish line, with fresh hot pizza from Mondo and beer (21+ with ID) courtesy of Eli Cannon’s Tap Room.

NEW IN 2024: Take on the Spring Hustle to enjoy some extra motivation through the season! Choose the distances to personalize a challenge plan and achieve three race finishes in this new walker-friendly challenge. Sign up for Middletown in addition to any distance at the Rocky Neck Runfest, 30K & 5K on April 21; and at the UConn Health Half Marathon, 10K & 5K on June 1 to crush the Spring Hustle and earn the special finisher medal.
