A spectacular beach race featuring stunning views! The half marathon course runs into the pristine neighborhoods of Watch Hill first before entering Weekapaug and running along the coastline and through the picturesque beach community. The Surftown Half Marathon, presented by Westerly Hospital, is a destination race not to miss, with additional distance options available.
The 2-person relay gives runners a chance to experience part of the awesome Surftown Half course split with a buddy for 5.1 mile and 8 mile legs. Relay participants exchange within walking distance of the pre/post-race area.
The 5K race offers a 3.1 mile beachy run to remember! The flat and fast course travels out-and-back along Winnapaug Pond and the Misquamicut beach community and starts shortly after the 13.1 mile race kicks off.
All participants earn a funky beach-themed finisher medal, a high quality short sleeve technical shirt and a post-race party by the beach with Flanders Fish Market chowder and a complimentary ice-cold beer from Grey Sail Brewing (21+ w/ID only).
2025 Shoreline Challenge: A twist on the popular race series, the Shoreline Challenge explores three beautiful race courses in participants’ distance of choice! Sign up for any distance at the Rocky Neck Runfest in April, the Mystic Half Marathon & 10K in May and then at the Surftown Half Marathon, Relay & 5K to end the summer by the shore in early September. The special Shoreline Challenge commemorative medal will be presented in Westerly at Surftown.
The charity partner for this event is the Crohns & Colitis Foundation. Consider making a donation or run, walk or volunteer with their group and support their mission to find cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
