NEW BEDFORD 1/2 MARATHON
Our annual race held on the 3rd Sunday in March and is one of the oldest half marathon distance events in the Northeast. We are managed by the 100% volunteer New Bedford Half Marathon Race Committee along with our host organization, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and with the wonderful support of the City of New Bedford.
We hope you enjoy yourself and take in all our historic city has to offer!
