Join for a special community run along the Hartford Black Heroes Trail, a curated route through downtown Hartford that honors the lives and legacies of Black leaders who helped shape the city. Through movement and shared experience, participants will engage with Hartford’s history in real time, bringing stories of leadership, resilience, and community out of the archives and into the streets.

The Hartford Black Heroes trail was conceived by Hartford City Councilwoman Tiana Hercules’ staff in collaboration with Jasmin Agosto of the Hartford History Center, with research support from UConn student Ryan Brooks. Together, the team identified and researched key historical Black figures connected to Hartford, creating plaques that now line Main Street alongside many of the city’s most historic locations. This run follows that path, using the trail’s interactive digital map to guide participants from site to site.

Come ready to move, learn, and celebrate Hartford’s Black history together!
