WHY RUN SURFTOWN?

Quite simply, the course. Competitive runners will relish the long straightaways, gentle turns and course elevation. Come and set your PR at Surftown.

For those less concerned about their finish time, come to drink in the beauty of the area. Misquamicut features miles of sand, surf and sun and is the perfect family destination. Watch Hill is truly a step back in time with its picturesque lighthouse, impressive Victorian homes and gabled cottages that look out over the beach to both Block Island Sound and Little Narragansett Bay.

We promise you a memorable race. You will want to make the Surftown Half an annual tradition.
