Shoreline Half Marathon & 5K
The Shoreline Half Marathon & 5K takes place at Hamlin Beach State Park in New York. This event offers participants the opportunity to run along the shoreline of Lake Ontario and through the surrounding countryside. Both in-person and virtual participation options are available for the scheduled distances.
The available distances include:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
- 5K (5 km)
The half marathon features a flat course that leads runners through the Hamlin countryside. After exiting the park, participants complete two loops of the Moscow, Redmond, Jacobs, and Priem roads before returning to the park to finish along the beach path. A course cutoff time of 3.5 hours is in place for this distance. To assist runners, complimentary pace leaders are stationed at the start line for various finish times.
The 5K course is located entirely within the park grounds. It is a flat route that offers views of Lake Ontario via the lakeside path and concludes on the beach. Both races utilize electronic timing, and finishers receive a medal and a technical tank top. For in-person participants, a post-race burrito breakfast is provided at the park.
Awards are available for top overall finishers and various age groups ranging from 19 and under to 70 and over. Cash prizes are specifically designated for the top three male and female finishers in the half marathon. The event is part of the Four Season Challenge series.
