The Cape Cod Marathon Weekend, presented by Shipwrecked, takes place in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The half marathon begins and ends at Mullen Hall School. This half marathon is a coastal out-and-back course along Nantucket Sound, offering views toward Martha’s Vineyard. It features a single short hill, encountered once on the outbound leg and again on the return. The weekend also offers challenge events for participants seeking multiple races: the Lobstah Challenge combines the half marathon with the 5K, and the Clam Chowdah Challenge pairs the half marathon with the full marathon. The races are conducted on open roads, requiring runners to stay to the right and share streets with vehicular traffic. Strollers and dogs are prohibited. The half marathon has a participant limit of 2,000, and runners must maintain a pace faster than three hours, with a sweeper van monitoring the cutoff time. Along the course, participants will find six aid stations providing water and Gatorade, accompanied by portable toilets and music. The finish line offers a distinct Cape Cod atmosphere, with hot clam chowder and soup available in vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free varieties, alongside apple cider donuts. Participants completing the challenge events will receive special awards or gifts, and prize money is awarded to the overall and age-group winners in the half marathon.

Ocean State Rhode Races is a running series in Rhode Island organized by Rhode Races & Events, featuring races and activities across the state. The broader Ocean State Multisport group, based in New England, organizes USAT and USATF sanctioned road races, triathlons, and duathlons. Their stated goal is to encourage more people to exercise and gain the confidence to participate in sanctioned events. The series functions as a tour of Rhode Island's cities and towns, rather than concentrating events in a single location. Participants can enter individual races or compete in three or more events to achieve Rhode Master status. The organizers also provide virtual events for those seeking a race-like objective from home. The merchandise reflects the local theme with "13.1 Run RI" and "26.2 Run RI" stickers, alongside race shirts for events like Newport, Bristol, and the Ocean State half marathon.
