Half-Marathon Information
As a certified USATF course, the Golden Lights Half-Marathon is a perfect training or qualifying course which starts and finishes in the picturesque Greenwich Point (Tod's Point) Park in Greenwich, CT. The first few miles are unlike any other half-marathon, bringing runners to the edge of the Long Island Sound and Greenwich's beautiful harbors. The race continues through the quaint neighborhoods of Old Greenwich and Riverside, until concluding back in the park along the water's edge.
