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.
