Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon

Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon is held in the coastal town of Cape May, New Jersey, on October 24, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) and a half marathon relay both start at 7:30 a.m., alongside the Hallowed Half 5K. Awards go to the top overall finishers and to the age-group placers, and the morning wraps up with a post-race awards ceremony and refreshments. Everyone who finishes takes home a long-sleeve shirt and a medal, and the event is set up for experienced racers and newcomers alike.

Road racing at the shore in late October usually means cool air and a flat feel underfoot, which suits a personal-best attempt. The relay option is the interesting one if you are not ready for the full 13.1 yet, since splitting the distance with a partner lets you race hard over a shorter piece. For the solo half, a 12 week block with a weekly long run and a few tempo sessions is plenty.
