Gulf Beach Half Marathon

Gulf Beach Half Marathon takes place at the Gulf Beach Recreation Area in Milford, CT, along beaches and the Silver Sands State Park Boardwalk. The USATF-certified, PR-friendly course is designed to be flat, making it a strong option for personal bests. It serves as the RRCA Connecticut State Championship Half Marathon and features support from police and volunteers at intersections, several aid stations, and restroom access at key points.

Entrants receive tech T-shirts, custom finisher medals, post-race snacks, live results, and free finish-line photos. A 'Streaker' program offers a free hoodie after completing three Shoreline Sharks half marathons in 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
