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, West Hartford Reservoir #4). The race distance is 6.55 miles, run as two 3.275-mile loops on a well-marked paved course through the park. There is a limit of 150 runners. Registration opens January 1, 2026 at 12:00pm EST. The listed entry fee is $25.

Race registration includes post-race treats, professional chip timing, and awards for the top three male and female finishers in five-year age groups. A note-processing fee is included in the registration fee.

Course and logistics

The course uses paved trails at West Hartford Reservoir #4 and has a single aid station roughly halfway around the loop. Parking at the reservoir is free; lots are open to the public but can fill quickly. Participants are asked not to park on grass or non-paved areas because the MDC monitors violations. Race day registration is allowed with cash only ($25) due to limited mobile reception, so Venmo and PayPal will not work on site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
