Hartford Riverfront Cross Country Festival Saturday Sept 17, 2011 - Hartford ,CT Timing & Results by Platt Timing 860-645-1476 Due to Tropical Storm Irene and unprecedented flooding of the Connecticut River, the trails at Riverside Park are currently un-runnable. Despite all efforts, put forth by Riverside Recapture Inc, to clear the trail system during the summer in expectation of the Festival, the Race Committee has decided a change of venue is necessary. The Hartford Riverfront Cross-Country Festival on September 17th will be run at Keney Park in Hartford, Connecticut. This newly designed course will consist of a 1.5 mile loop which runners will run twice then proceed to a finish line on an open field to complete the 5000m course. Entrance to Keney Park is directly across from the M.L. King School at 25 Ridgefield Street in Hartford, CT 06112.
