The Burlington to Collinsville Classic 10K, scheduled for Sunday, May 3, 2026, invites runners to experience a truly scenic and fast point-to-point race in Connecticut. Kicking off from Lake Garda Elementary School in Burlington, the 10K course quickly transitions from quiet local roads to a picturesque multi-use trail winding alongside the Farmington River. This USATF-certified course is celebrated for its flat and shaded terrain, offering an exceptional opportunity for runners to achieve a personal best while enjoying incredible views of the sparkling river. Typical race day conditions in early May are ideal, with comfortable highs around 67F and lows around 43F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation.

Runners can expect comprehensive support, including aid stations with water and UCAN Hydrate located at pre-race, post-race, and at miles 2.5 and 4, along with portalets and medical personnel positioned throughout the course. The race culminates in the quaint downtown area of Collinsville, near Canton Town Hall, where a lively finish line atmosphere awaits. All finishers are proudly presented with a custom short-sleeve technical shirt and a unique finisher medal, with delicious post-race chili and cornbread provided by Lisa's Crown & Hammer. Organized by the reputable Hartford Marathon Foundation, shuttle bus services are conveniently available to transport participants between the start and finish areas, ensuring a seamless experience for all.
