Message: [QUOTE="Marbles90, post: 4745861, member: 7436"] They changed both courses this year. I like the old half marathon course that did a complete loop around West Hartford. It is now a much smaller slice of WeHa with an out and back down Farmington Ave and a small loop that still includes Elizabeth Park. They added the big hill around the Xfinity Theater and a run back along the Hartford side of the river through Riverside Park which used to be part of the marathon course. The new marathon course I like better as it now follows the half along the same smaller slice of West Hartford and then breaks off when you get back to the city - heading over the Founders Bridge to do the normal East Hartford / S. Windsor section of the marathon. I like it better because it now includes both West and East Hartford and it cuts out that hill by Xfinity. Unfortunately, I will not be running Hartford this year as I am doing the NYC marathon on 11/5. [/QUOTE]
