11th Annual South Shore Half Marathon & 5K

*IMPORTANT CHANGE* The 2025 South Shore Half Marathon & 5K location has been changed from Hanover Crossing to Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, MA as of 5/22/25.

We’re excited to announce the 11th Annual South Shore Half Marathon and 5K on November 2 in beautiful Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, MA! Known for being one of the most scenic and popular half marathons and 5K’s in Massachusetts, and considering we’re offering the lowest early bird pricing ever, you don’t want to miss out!

We’ve also added new, more fun swag, including long-sleeve t-shirts and medals for all runners!

***There will not be beer after the race this year, due to permitting restrictions from Wompatuck State Park. Instead, a beer voucher for Mayflower Brewing in Plymouth to be used the week of 11/2/25 – 11/8/25 will be attached to all bibs.  The post-race celebration will still include music from DJ, award ceremony, light snacks, and the team from Run Slower Hats will also have a booth on-site so stop by and see them!

The red arrows indicate driving direction to get to the starting and parking area.  It’s approximately 4 miles from the entrance to the parking area. The South Field parking area itself is a very large grass field, not a paved parking lot.  There will be a marked path in and out of the field on race day.
