Hartford Track Club Quarter Marathon

West Hartford, United States • 11 Apr 2026

Event details

The Hartford Track Club Quarter Marathon takes place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in West Hartford, CT (1420 Farmington Avenue). The event has a limit of 150 runners. Registration opens January 1, 2026, and the listed entry fee is $25. Race day registration is allowed; organizers request cash payment of $25 because Venmo and Paypal may not work due to poor reception. Race registration includes post-race treats, professional chip timing, and awards. Awards are given to the top three runners in each age-group category. A processing fee is included in the registration fee.

Course and logistics

The race is held on paved trails at West Hartford Reservoir #4. The course is a well-marked loop run twice: two 3.275-mile laps to equal the 6.55-mile quarter marathon distance. There will be a single aid station roughly halfway around the loop. Parking at the West Hartford Reservoir is free and open to the public; lots can fill quickly and participants are asked not to park on grass or non-paved areas because the MDC monitors parking. Car pooling is suggested to help with lot volume. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
