We are a friendly local running club open to all and any runners in the Hartford area of Connecticut, from beginner trotters to hardcore marathon veterans. We have well over 150 members and organize three races per year, along with regular social gatherings. We offer regular free nine-week beginner programs leading up to club races.

Races

We organize three races a year, two of which benefit local charities. 2012 race dates are:

April 15th, 2012: 2nd Annual Run Diva Run
July 1st, 2012: 4th Annual Firecracker 5K
November 11th, 2012: 5th Annual Race to Fill the Pantry

Training

We have several groups running regularly during the week (see Training Groups) and many of our members take part in other sports, such as yoga, cycling or triathlon. GRR member Margaret Rorrio launched the hugely successful Glastonbury River Walkers in 2011 – with the aim of walking Hartford Marathon in the fall.

What we believe

The Glastonbury River Runners promote running for health, camaraderie, and competition for runners of all ages and abilities. We provide a supportive, friendly environment that encourages each of us to achieve our personal best. In addition to organizing and supporting local events, we also cooperate with other organizations to foster and develop endurance sports in the region.
