Description
Join the Herd and Make Every Mile Matter!
The Riley Farm Rescue is proud to be an Official Charity Partner of the 2026 Eversource Hartford Marathon, Half Marathon, Team 26.2 Relay, and Charity 5K on October 10, 2026.
Whether you're an experienced runner, a first-time participant, a dedicated volunteer, or a passionate supporter, there's a place for you in our herd. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps provide food, shelter, medical care, and lifelong sanctuary for the rescued animals who call Riley Farm Rescue home.
Run in person or virtually, volunteer on race day, or donate to support our team. Together, we can turn miles into meaningful impact and give vulnerable animals the second chances they deserve.
Run. Volunteer. Donate. Join the Herd.
