COVID-19 Information (2020 Race Update)
Well the world up and went crazy on us! While we have been closely monitoring the situation the decision has ultimately been made to make some significant changes for our 11th annual CTLEOMR. Below please find the changes we are implementing for the safety of our runners and staff as well as to ensure the event is ultimately still profitable for the cause. We would like to thank all of our event supporters as well as our front line heroes, especially our law enforcement family, who have continued to admirably perform their duties without hesitation under such adverse conditions. We would also like to specifically acknowledge our presenting sponsor, the Ment Law Group, who has graciously continued to fund this year's race even in such uncertain financial times.
We at the CTLEOMR will continue to make this year and every year of the event enjoyable and successful and hope to resume our normal operations in 2021. Until then....

Virtual Run Transition
Registration Information
Optional Group Run Event
We know at this point you're like, "Man this sucks! I liked coming out and actually running with you guys!" Well we're thinking outside of the box for you. Please keep in mind that this will be completely optional and those wishing to participate are encouraged to take all normal precautions you would anywhere (we think by now you've heard all the recommendations so we won't restate them).
- The 2020 running of the CTLEOMR will switch to a "virtual run" format. Runners will still register for the event online at a reduced price and we will mail out shirts and bibs prior to the event date on October 25th.
- On race day, October 25th, you will complete your 3.1 mile run at any location and time of your choosing. Get creative! Choose a fun route or a different state, trail running or road. This is our chance to spread our race throughout CT and beyond.
- Runners will keep track of their race completion time, preferably with a GPS device for accuracy, and upload it to our new run registration platform, "Run Signup".
- Runners should take pictures with their snazzy CTLEOMR shirts and bibs and post it to Instagram and/or Facebook using #CTLEOMR2020.
- All awards and teams will be suspended for this year (we know, it kills us too!)
- Keep reading below if you're interested in an optional modified group run...

- On October 25th at 10am, registered runners wishing to complete their 3.1 miles may come out and run with the race directors on a very low key and modified group run in downtown Hartford.
- This event will not be timed nor will there be any course support.
- Runners should still register online and your shirts & bibs will still be mailed. No pickup at the group run.
- Those wishing to participate will meet the race directors at Mortensen/Riverfront Park in downtown Hartford. The course will be a run along the Connecticut River and features some challenging stair climbs and bridge crossing. See the course map below.
- Runners are encouraged to wear their shirts and bibs to this run. Be proud of your support of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities!
- There is no after party/refreshments. With that said you are welcome to bring your own refreshments and hang out at the beautiful Riverfront Park. Remember to obey all of the park's requirements and guidelines at the time of the event. Additional information may be found at: https://riverfront.org/.
