The Hartford Marathon Foundation supports and enables charity fundraising efforts for individuals and groups throughout the calendar of events. Consider choosing a race to rally group support around an organization important to you, or joining the effort for a partner charity at an event on your calendar (check the “Run For Good” tab within the event site pages to learn more on each event). As a non-profit organization itself, HMF serves as a catalyst for participants and supporters. There are many ways to get involved as a group, individual fundraiser or race participant!
Please note, all donations made directly to the Hartford Marathon Foundation support the HMF Susie Beris, MD Youth Running Program, which helps children of all ages develop a lifelong love of running. LEARN MORE
In addition, HMF’s flagship Eversource Hartford Marathon annual event, engaging more than 53,000 people in 2023, supports an Official Charity program and individual race participant fundraising efforts contributing more than $9.2 million in donations since 1994. LEARN MORE
Outside of raising funds, participants in many HMF Events have the opportunity to donate non-perishable foods to the HMF Can initiative on race day. HMF Can is supported by Stop & Shop to help alleviate food insecurity in communities. Check the “Run For Good” tab within the event site pages to learn about local efforts.
