ING Run For Something Better in Hartford

Program Overview:  The official launch of the program was in September, 2008 after the students returned to school.  The students run a half marathon over a period of six weeks.  Students in the public school system had the opportunity to run during or after school.  They also had the chance to run in a culminating final mile in October the day before the ING Hartford Marathon.  ING provides transportation, lunches, t-shirts and finisher medals to the participants at the final mile culminating event.

Beneficiaries:  ING Run For Something Better ® partners with The Hartford Marathon Foundation to implement the IRFSB program in the Hartford public school system, East Hartford public school system, Windsor public school system and South Windsor public school system.  These are all communities that are impacted by the ING Hartford Marathon.  The program targets 6^th to 8^th graders in the public schools.
