Wallis Sands Half Marathon
The Wallis Sands Half Marathon takes place on May 9, 2027 in Rye, New Hampshire, with the start and finish inside Wallis Sands State Park at 1050 Ocean Blvd. The in‑person half marathon is a 13.1 mile clockwise loop that begins in the Wallis Sands State parking lot, runs along the NH seacoast on Route 1A for several miles, passes through downtown Rye, and returns to finish inside the state park. The course is described as flat and fast along the seacoast.
Event offerings include:
- Half Marathon, 13.1 mile clockwise coastal loop
- Plogging, limited to 20 entries with trash bags and numbered bag tags
- Virtual Half Marathon, includes shipping and handling
Plogging entries receive unique bib numbers, special recognition at the finish, and may drop full trash bags at water stops for crew pickup or return them to the finish for a weigh in. Ploggers are not eligible for speed awards; a special prize is awarded for the most weight collected. Please avoid collecting rocks.
Entry fees vary by date and category; the available offer range is USD 50 to USD 125. Packet pickup is scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Philbricks Ski and Sports and on site on race morning. The event includes finisher prizes and medals for all finishers, free race photo downloads, post‑race snacks, a BBQ, music, and a beach party. No day of registration is available.
