Nantucket Half Marathon : October 11, 2026
The event is the 15th annual Nantucket Half Marathon held on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. The half marathon uses a two-loop course that begins and ends at Bartlett's Farm and passes through beach roads, bike paths, neighborhood streets, and short sections of sand. The route highlights the Nantucket Land Bank's Smooth Hummocks Coastal Preserve, a sand plain grassland ecosystem that is described as globally rare. The event page notes recognition from Runners' World as one of the nation's top ten beach town races.
Registration details for the half marathon are listed as opening on January 1, 2026 and closing on April 1, 2026. The published registration fee for the half marathon is $100 and fees are non-refundable. Registration prices are stated to increase on April 1. Racers registered before September 1 are guaranteed a t-shirt; sizes after that date are available on a first come, first serve basis. The organizer notes the event is sold out.
There is also a free kids race for children age 2 to 10. Each child receives a Bartlett's Farm pumpkin. Distances offered for the event are listed below. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
