Half Marathon races near Waterford

The Block Island Half Marathon is an annual October half marathon on Block Island, Rhode Island, starting and finishing at Fred Benson Pavilion. This is a small island race, not a big-city road event, with the route utilizing the island's natural features as its primary attraction. Runners proceed through beach dunes, past the Great Salt Pond, and toward North Point Light before returning along the west side of the island. The Atlantic Ocean is visible during portions of the run. All finishers receive a medal, and those who pre-register also get a race T-shirt.
