All abilities, ages, and fitness levels are invited to the 4th annual MOVE! With the Urban League of Greater Hartford event on Saturday, July 12. The Hartford Marathon Foundation (HMF) and the Urban League of Greater Hartford are collaborating again with presenting sponsor RTX–Pratt & Whitney to host the 5K race and Movement Festival of fitness activities and fun in historic Keney Park, near the park’s Woodland Street entrance, off of Greenfield Street in Hartford.

The family-friendly event celebrates the many ways members of the community are active while also showcasing the amenities of Keney Park, the “Jewel of the City” and one of the largest designed park landscapes in the U.S. The event kicks off at 9 a.m. with the 5K race and a 1-mile run/walk. At 10:15 a.m., the free HMF FitKids fun run takes place, followed by the awards presentation, including the Exum Award in honor of former RTX–Pratt & Whitney executive and Urban League Board member Earl Exum.

Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., the public can enjoy a free Movement Festival with live entertainment, fresh produce distribution, food, health information, fitness activities, arts & crafts, and community resources.
