Nantucket Half Marathon

The Nantucket Half Marathon, held annually on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, is a scenic race recognized by Runners' World as one of the top ten beach races in the nation. The course features a 13.1-mile half marathon route that winds through sandy beach roads, bike paths, quiet neighborhood streets, and patches of sand, offering stunning ocean views. It begins and ends at historic Bartlett's Farm and highlights the unique Smooth Hummocks Coastal Preserve, a rare sand plain grassland ecosystem.

The event also includes a 6.6-mile quarter marathon and a free kids' fun run, where children receive a Bartlett's Farm pumpkin. The race attracts hundreds of runners and spectators each October. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
