The Return of the
Marathon
The year 2021 marked the gradual return of
large public events back into the City. One
such event was the annual Hartford Marathon which took place on October 9th, 2021.
Roughly 7,000 runners participated in total
for the 5k, Half, and Full marathon events.
The number of runners was limited due to
COVID-19 restrictions but is expected to grow
to over 10,000 next year as the restrictions
ease.
To ensure the safety of the runners as well as
the spectators, the Hartford Police Department deployed approximately 220 of昀椀cers to
work the detail in some capacity, making this
our largest Of昀椀cer deployment for an event
that year.
The Marathon concluded with zero event-related incidents, a testament to the professional services provided by HPD personnel.
