The Harborside Half Marathon & 5K returns to Newburyport on November 9, 2025, offering a beautiful and relaxed race experience that showcases the best of coastal Massachusetts in the fall. Both the Half Marathon and 5K routes wind through scenic landscapes including salt marshes, woodlands, and the Clipper City Rail Trail, with the finish line set at Michael’s Harborside on the Merrimack River. Participants receive chip timing, race swag, and access to a festive post-race party featuring fresh pizza, snacks, and complimentary Ipswich Ale Brewery beer for runners aged 21 and over. The flat-to-gently rolling course is ideal for both personal bests and casual running, making it a popular choice that often sells out. With its welcoming atmosphere, scenic charm, and community spirit, it’s a standout among New England’s late-season races.
