Organized by the Hartford Marathon Foundation, the Surftown Half Marathon, Relay & 5K is one of New England’s premier seaside running events. The USATF-certified half marathon course starts and finishes at Misquamicut State Beach and winds through the coastal neighborhoods of Westerly, offering ocean views, flat terrain, and cool sea breezes. Runners can choose between running solo, teaming up for a 2–3 person relay, or joining the fun in the 5K. All participants enjoy professional timing, a custom finisher medal, on-course hydration, and post-race festivities by the beach. The event supports local charities and embodies the perfect blend of fitness, fun, and community.
