UConn Health Half Marathon June 6

The UConn Health Half Marathon is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026, with 13.1-mile, 10K and 5K races listed by Hartford Marathon Foundation and RunSignup. The event’s official pages place the race in Simsbury and describe it as a long-running fixture on the Iron Horse corridor, with a two-loop half-marathon course along the Farmington River and nearby farmland. (hartfordmarathon.com) UConn Health’s recent social posts have focused on race preparation rather than results, including stretching advice tied to Dr. (uconnhealth.org) Jennifer Ozimek.
