Hartford Marathon Foundation To Hold Open House Sunday

Spring racing season will kick off Sunday morning at the Mandell JCC.

Spring is coming, and for many runners or would-be runners that means time to get off the treadmill – or couch – and prepare for the racing season.

The Hartford Marathon Foundation is holding a FREE open house and season preview on Sunday morning.

A family-friendly fun run will kick off the event followed by a health, wellness, and training expo. Training coaches will be on hand answering running questions and providing resources. First Time Triathlete, Yoga for Runners, Pilates for Runners, and Strength Training workshops will also be available.
