O’Shenanigans 5K @ Kinsmen Brewing Company, 409 Canal Street, Milldale, Connecticut, United States on 08 March 2025

Hartford Marathon Foundation’s first of four St. Patrick’s Day themed O’races is family-friendly and fun for groups of runners or walkers. A fast 3.1 mile course through rural roads in Southington and Cheshire brings participants back to the festivities at the brewery and taproom. This party of a road race is not to be missed – costumes always encouraged!

Swag includes St. Paddy’s themed knit beanie. Participants 21+ (with ID) also enjoy an ice cold craft beer from Kinsmen Brewing and everyone re-fuels with fresh hot pizza from Sauced at Kinsmen.

Lucky Challenge – Participate in all four O’races and earn the big bling! Check out the options for virtual/in-person combos to achieve the Lucky Challenge goal. Start with O’Shenanigans, then take on the Courthouse O’Putnam, O’Niantic and either the O’Hartford 5K or 10K.
