Race To The Food Line

More than 1,500 runners participated in the Max O’Hartford 5K through the Hartford Marathon Foundation, which raised $2,225. The race was presented by Centrian Life Insurance and sponsored by the Max Restaurant Group to benefit the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign. This year, teams participated in the Restaurant Relay Challenge, racing one mile, carrying trays of Murphy’s Irish Stout.
