Races/United States
Training plan for the Eversource Hartford Marathon
Saturday, 9 October 2027 in Hartford, United States. That is 49 weeks away.
That date has not been announced yet. The last one has been and gone, and the organiser runs it on the second Saturday in October, which is where the date above comes from. Check it with the organiser before planning to it — a week either way changes when your build starts.
When a build would have to start
Squall plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
Half — a 14-week build, 4 runs a week
Starts the week of 28 June 2027 — 35 weeks in hand.
Marathon — a 18-week build, 5 runs a week
Starts the week of 31 May 2027 — 31 weeks in hand.
On the day
Distances: Half, Marathon. Entries, course and timings are hartfordmarathon.com’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — Squall sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
