Hartford Marathon

Post-Race Review/ Results

Good weather, good times and good crowds contributed to a successful Aetna U.S. Healthcare Greater Hartford Marathon.

A Good Race Was Had By All

Paula Davalan travelled nine hours in her car from Waterloo, Ontario to participate in her first marathon, the Hartford Marathon.  The next day, she woke up with a sore neck and diagnosed with a displaced vertebra.  After the chiropractors and massage therapists worked on her, she still was not sure whether she could run.  No one expected Davalan to place third!
