Block Island Half Marathon
The Block Island Half Marathon begins and ends at the Fred Benson Town Beach Pavilion and follows a looped course around parts of the island. The route first heads north along a flat stretch, then rises through a gentle uplift into steeper hills with several turns. Runners pass coastal features including the Great Salt Pond, beach dunes, and the North Lighthouse. At the North Light the course reverses direction for a loop around the west side of the island that includes additional hills and turns.
The description emphasizes varied terrain and coastal scenery rather than a uniform profile. Course terrain includes flat sections, rolling uplifts, steeper hills, and multiple turns. Registration is handled through Active.com, and day-of registration is available. A map of the course is provided by the event organizers.
