The Mystic Half Marathon and 10K take place in the Mystic shoreline community and follow a route from Olde Mistick Village, past historic ships, through downtown to a finish at Mystic Aquarium. The event offers in-person and virtual race options and includes a family FitKids run.

All in-person participants receive a short sleeve technical shirt and a custom designed finisher medal tied to the event theme. The event is part of the Spring Shoreline Challenge, a multi-race series that includes the Rocky Neck Runfest in April, this Mystic race in May, and the L+M Hospital Summer Stride in June. A special Spring Shoreline Challenge commemorative medal is presented in New London at the Summer Stride.

The race offers a Run for Good option that allows participants to select and support a local charity through donations, participation, or volunteering. HMF FitKids provides run options for children ages 2 to 11.
