West Haven周辺のHalf Marathonレース

The Ridgefield Road Fest begins at the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield in Ridgefield, Connecticut, offering three road-race options: a half marathon, a 7-miler, and a 5K. This October running event features distances of 21.1 km, 11.3 km, and 5.0 km. The course provides runners a choice between a half-marathon effort, a middle-distance road race, or a shorter 5K. The Iris Fund benefits from the 5K, and the series is celebrating its 50th anniversary, adding local history to the event.

The Tarrywile Half Marathon is a November trail race held in Tarrywile Park, Danbury, Connecticut, featuring exclusively unpaved park trails. The event includes a 10K, half marathon, and marathon, all utilizing a consistent hard loop structure: one loop for the 10K, two for the half, and four for the marathon. This course is not a road race with some dirt; it consists of Northeast single track, rocky and rooty sections, and sufficient climbing to significantly slow runners compared to their typical road pace. The 10K involves approximately 1,500 feet of climbing, the half marathon around 3,000 feet, and the marathon reaches about 6,000 feet of elevation gain. Participants gain viewpoints over Danbury and the park's lakes, though these require navigating technical, hilly trails. Hikers and walkers are permitted in the 10K and half marathon provided they can finish within the seven-hour time limit. The event maintains a small scale with a 250-person limit. The half marathon also features a standing cash challenge: bonuses are awarded to the first man finishing under 1:45 and the first woman under 2:00, with the prize pool increasing annually until claimed.

The Brookhaven Trail Half Marathon and 5 Mile is a fall trail race held in Brookhaven State Park, Wading River, New York. Both the half marathon and 5-mile race begin at 9:00 AM. Participants can select the full half marathon on the park's trails or a 5-mile route, accommodating both those seeking a challenging trail run and those preferring a shorter outing. Race-day check-in starts at 7:30 AM by the large red tent. Cash or card are accepted for same-day registration. The course winds through protected Suffolk County woodlands, featuring single-track paths, fire trails, sandy areas, and sections alongside ponds. The half marathon begins near the park entrance on William Floyd Parkway. Custom wooden finisher medals are awarded to all half marathon participants. Strong Island Running Club provides professional timing. Awards are given for overall finishers and age groups ranging from 14-and-under to 85+. Cash prizes are also presented to the top male and female half marathon finishers. The event supports Team Red White and Blue through fundraising, and participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for Island Harvest.
