Hartford Marathon Foundation's first of four St. Patrick’s Day themed O’races is family-friendly and fun for groups of runners or walkers. A fast 3.1 mile course through rural roads in Southington and Cheshire brings participants back to the festivities at the brewery and taproom. This party of a road race is not to be missed – costumes always encouraged!

Swag includes St. Paddy’s themed knit beanie. Participants 21+ (with ID) also enjoy an ice cold craft beer from Kinsmen Brewing and everyone re-fuels with fresh hot pizza from Sauced at Kinsmen.

Lucky Challenge – Participate in all four O’races and earn the big bling! Check out the options for virtual/in-person combos to achieve the Lucky Challenge goal. Start with O’Shenanigans, then take on the Courthouse O’Putnam, O’Niantic and either the O’Hartford 5K or 10K.

Li’l Lucky – Love the idea of a challenge but can’t swing two weekends of 5Ks in a row? Join the Li’l Lucky and sign up for any two of the four St. Paddy’s themed races. All Li’l Lucky participants will earn a finisher medal.

HMF FitKids: Bring the little leprechauns for the FitKids Run, a ¼ or ½ mile race for kids ages 2-11.

The charity partner for this event is Alzheimer’s Association, CT Chapter. Consider making a donation or run, walk or volunteer with their group and support their mission to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
