About the race
Run for the Riverfront 5K is a community fundraiser held on 11/07/2026 at Riverside Park in Hartford, Connecticut. The event centers on the Greater Hartford Jaycees Boathouse and includes multiple ways to participate.
Participants can choose from a 5K run, a 5K walk, a 5K erg challenge, or a 5K rowing event. The run course begins and ends at the boathouse and is mostly on dirt and grassy trails. Erg entries are limited by available equipment. Rowing entries are for proficient single scullers only, and club singles must be reserved in advance. The published registration fee for each event is $35.00. Registration for the run opens on July 12, 2026; registration for the erg, row, and walk opens on July 13, 2026. All registration closes on November 7, 2026. On-site registration is available on race day.
Net proceeds support Riverfront Recapture’s Community Rowing Program. Participants may solicit donations and top fundraisers will receive prizes.
