Run Through the Heart of Connecticut for a World Without Pancreatic Cancer
Join Project Purple for Connecticut’s premier autumn running tradition—the Eversource Hartford Marathon! Whether you are tackling the full 26.2, the half marathon, or the Charity 5K, you’ll experience one of the most well-supported and scenic urban courses in New England. From the historic landmarks of downtown Hartford to the charming, tree-lined streets of West Hartford and South Windsor, this race is a true celebration of community and endurance.
When you join the Project Purple team in Hartford, your miles do more than just get you to the finish line. You are running for a future where pancreatic cancer is a treatable and curable disease. As a Connecticut-based charity, we want to fill the streets with purple to support our local patients, families, and researchers.
Whether you are chasing a Boston-Qualifying time or walking your very first 5K, we invite you to be part of our mission. Every step helps fund early detection research and provides critical financial aid to those currently facing pancreatic cancer.
