About This Race

Embark on a captivating coastal journey at the Horseneck Half and 3.5M, returning for its 10th anniversary on May 17, 2026, in scenic Westport, MA. Kicking off and concluding at the pristine DCR Horseneck Beach State Reservation, frequently lauded as one of New England's premier beaches, this event offers both a challenging 13.1-mile half marathon and an invigorating 3.5-mile run. Runners will traverse a largely flat course that unveils a diverse landscape of stunning ocean vistas, serene rolling farmlands, and charming local vineyards, with a celebrated ocean-side finish for both distances. The Half Marathon promises a particularly memorable experience with its final mile stretching along East Beach Road, offering uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean.

To keep you fueled, the Half Marathon features five well-placed water stops, while the 3.5M course includes one, all offering Skratch Labs Rehydration drink. Expect favorable running conditions, with typical race day highs around 71°F and lows near 50°F, accompanied by a low 15% chance of precipitation. Beyond the scenic route, participants are rewarded with a Craft Sports technical race shirt, and Half Marathon finishers receive a commemorative medal. The vibrant post-race celebration at the beach is a highlight, featuring a complimentary hot meal from Bon Me, a refreshing Black Hat Brew Works beer (or non-alcoholic option), recovery drinks, free coffee, and a lively atmosphere with a DJ.
