Block Island Half Marathon
The Block Island Half Marathon is a road and coastal running event on Block Island that begins and finishes at the Fred Benson Town Beach Pavilion. The course first heads north on a flat stretch, then moves into a gentle uplift before reaching steeper hills and a series of turns.
Runners pass a range of island scenery including the Great Salt Pond, beach dunes and the North Lighthouse. At the North Light the route reverses direction and continues with a loop around the west side of the island. The course features varied terrain and multiple elevation changes, with both flatter sections and sustained hills.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026. Course maps are provided for the route that starts and ends at the town beach pavilion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
