PUTNAM — The Hartford Marathon Foundation’s 2018 race season will include the Courthouse O’Putnam 5K race March 11.
Runners are encouraged to bring nonperishable food donations to each race for HMF Can. Donations at the Courthouse O’Putnam 5K will benefit Putnam’s IHSP-Daily Bread Food Pantry.
The Courthouse Bar & Grille has been a partner since the event’s inception in 2012. This year’s event will have special meaning for the popular restaurant set in the heart of Putnam’s Antique District – Courthouse Bar & Grille celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2018.
Before the 5K, participants can cheer on future runners (ages 2+) at the HMF FitKids ¼ or ½ mile races. All Wee Mile participants receive a finisher’s medal and a festive knit O’hat. The race starts and finishes in downtown Putnam in a loop course along the Quinebaug River.
“We are pleased to have hosted this fantastic event for seven years now,” said Courthouse Bar and Grille owner Sheila Frost. “It brings the community together, families and friends create new memories and runners get their competitiveness geared up! It’s a great way to kick off the spring season. The Irish theme is fun, we take pride in our corned beef sandwiches and get so much enjoyment in seeing the community come together for a big green party year after year.”
