Mystic Half Marathon and 10K @ Olde Mystic Village, 27 Coogan Boulevard, Mystic, Connecticut, United States on 18 May 2025

This special shoreline destination invites participants to an enjoyable stretch of course otherwise hard to access. Starting in front of Olde Mistick Village, the race follows along the water past tall ships and sailboats of Mystic Seaport, over the unique and historic Mystic River drawbridge and through the charming downtown. Runners then enjoy a quieter stretch along River Road before the 10K turns off to finish in front of Mystic Aquarium.

The 13.1 mile journeys along quintessential New England stonewalls, rolling hills and passing views of the Mystic Reservoir and tranquil nature preserves before the finish.

All participants receive a short sleeve technical shirt and a custom designed finisher medal in this year’s much-anticipated signature race theme. After the finish, enjoy a stroll through picturesque Mystic and take advantage of some great discounts!

2025 Shoreline Challenge: A twist on the popular race series, the Shoreline Challenge explores three beautiful race courses in participants’ distance of choice!
