Middletown 10k & 5K Run/Walk

A springtime road race through the idyllic campus of Wesleyan University in Middletown!

Both races loop around campus, while the 5K finishes, the 10K takes another loop before a fast downhill finish on Old Church Street.

All finishers receive a high quality short sleeve technical shirt and enjoy a post-race party on Union Green, adjacent to the finish line, with fresh hot pizza from Mondo and beer (21+ with ID) courtesy of Eli Cannon’s Tap Room.

NEW IN 2025: Motivate the running season with a three-race goal in the Spring 10K Challenge. Start off in Middletown in April, then join the Burlington to Collinsville 10K in May and end with the UConn Health 10K in June to earn an extra commemorative medal for the extra efforts.

HMF FitKids: Bring the whole family and enjoy the kids run with options of a ¼ mile or ½ mile (for kids ages 2-11)!

RUN FOR GOOD HMF CAN: Be a part of the race tradition and please help give back to the local community. Donate nonperishable food in the HMF Can tent near Packet Pickup to benefit The Amazing Grace Food Pantry, which provides groceries to more than 1,000 low-income households each month in the Middletown area. HMF Can is supported by Stop & Shop to help alleviate food insecurity in communities.

The charity beneficiary of this event is HMF’s Susie Beris, MD Youth Running Program. Consider donating during registration or directly.
