South Shore Half Marathon
The 12th Annual South Shore Half Marathon returns to Bare Cove Park in Hingham, Massachusetts on November 8, 2026. The event is limited to 500 participants because of parking constraints, so only the half marathon distance will be offered this year; the 5K will not take place. Historically the event has attracted more than 1,000 participants, making this reduced field notable.
Packet pickup is available the day before the race at Marathon Sports, 134 Washington St, Norwell, MA. Race day packet pickup is available near the start area. A course map and parking details are listed as coming soon.
All registrants receive a long-sleeve unisex race shirt and a finisher medal. Additional event services include professional chip timing with results posted promptly after the race, free finish line photos, gear check at the registration table, and a post-race celebration with music, light snacks, and an award ceremony.
Awards are given as Marathon Sports gift cards: top three overall male and female finishers receive $100, $75, and $50 gift cards, and winners in age-group categories receive $25 gift cards for the listed age brackets (1-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+).
The event partners with the charity Back on My Feet Boston; registrants may be offered an option to add a donation during registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
