Wallis Sands Half Marathon
The Wallis Sands Half Marathon takes place in Rye, New Hampshire on May 9, 2027. The event center is Wallis Sands State Park at 1050 Ocean Blvd and includes multiple ways to participate: an in-person Half Marathon (13.1 Miles), a plogging activity, and a Virtual Half Marathon option.
The in-person half marathon follows a clockwise loop that begins in the Wallis Sands State parking lot, runs along the seacoast on Route 1A for several miles, turns inland through downtown Rye, and returns along the coast to finish inside Wallis Sands State Park. The course is described as flat and suitable for fast times.
Plogging combines jogging with picking up litter and adds bending and squatting to the running motion; it is offered as a separate activity at the same date. The Virtual Half Marathon can be completed remotely within a specified window.
Registration for the events opens November 11, 2026; registration closing dates and fees differ by event. The listed registration fee for the in-person half marathon is $84.00; plogging is listed at $50.00; the virtual option is listed at $60.00. The organizer notes that spots are limited and that the event will include post-event barbecue, music, and on-site festivities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
