Date: Saturday, October 19, 2024
Time: 7:00am – 2:00pm (official time will be confirmed)
Now accepting early bird registration for the Hartford Marathon 2024!
Registration is required to participate. Participants Must have a current/valid CT Massage Therapy license and AMTA Membership is required.
Here are some details about the event:
We are able to offer pre and post event sessions and there are several events, including a 5k, ½ marathon and full marathon. Athletes will be charged $1/minute and the event is advertising our services to their 14,000 runners! Therapists must be able to collect payment on-site. Preferred methods of payment are VENMO, SQUARE, Apple Pay or Zelle. Highly recommend at least two of these. This is a great opportunity to market your services, network with other elite members of our team and have a great time!
The Hartford Marathon Foundation and AMTA expect professionalism. Therapists must check-in with the race coordinator and be set-up by approximately 7am. Any therapist who arrives late, leaves early or no-shows for their commitment to the event will forfeit their opportunity to work a paid event coordinated by the AMTA-CT chapter for 1 year.
Therapists must wear their red AMTA-CT Sports Massage Team shirts or a red shirt with an AMTA name tag and professional black pants or shorts. Weather can be variable throughout the day and the park grounds can be expected to be wet in the morning. The race will take place rain or shine. It is recommended that you bring extra shoes, socks, and layers for cooler temperatures. Therapists are responsible for bringing their own supplies, which may include the following:
- Table
- Paper towels
- Spray cleaner or wipes appropriate to disinfect their tables between clients
- Hand sanitizer
- Cans / cups / supports to place under your table legs to keep them from sinking into the soft grounds at Bushnell Park
- Business cards
- Fully charged phone and valid payment app or card reader
Current CT Massage Therapy license and AMTA Membership is required.
