UConn Health Half Marathon, 10K and 5K on Iron Horse in Simsbury on June 7

Participants in all race distances earn a short-sleeve race technical shirt and a custom finisher medal.

The UConn Health Half is a flat, looping course through the charming Farmington River Valley community of Simsbury, Connecticut. It starts on Iron Horse Boulevard steps from the Simsbury Performing Arts Center with an 8 mile loop before passing by the finish area and heading back out for 5 more miles. Both loops travel along the base of the Metacomet Ridge and feature panoramic views of Talcott Mountain, the Farmington River, sprawling farms, and the iconic Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge.
