The inaugural Greenwich Half Marathon will start and finish at the Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department in Old Greenwich on Saturday, September 27, 2026, on a flat two-loop coastal course.

Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department as Race Hub

This fire department location in Old Greenwich serves as the central point for the new half marathon event. Runners will use the site for registration and finish-line activities while the surrounding roads provide the two-loop coastal path. The venue choice places the race in a neighborhood already familiar to local runners through other club activities.

Bruce Museum and Bruce Park for Shorter Races

The Bruce Museum will serve as the starting point for the Community 5K & Fun Mile on June 6, 2026. The same Bruce Park area appears in the route for the 62nd Jim Fixx Memorial Day Race on Monday, May 25, 2026, which includes a 5K and a separate kids' run through central Greenwich. These two sites together give runners access to both a museum grounds start and established park paths within the same section of town.

Greenwich Point Park and OG Firehouse for Regular Training

Greenwich Point Park in Old Greenwich will host the Greenwich Road Runners annual Fall Classic 5K and 1-Mile Run on Saturday, October 11, 2025. The same organization uses the OG Firehouse at 207 Sound Beach Ave. for weekly runs that begin at 10:00 a.m. These two locations give participants a consistent park setting for races and a nearby starting point for ongoing group training throughout the year.

The dates for these events are already listed on the Greenwich Road Runners website and related race registration pages. Local residents can find the full schedule and registration details on the organization's site at greenwichroadrunners.org. The combination of established parks and public buildings allows the club to run multiple events without needing new construction.

Anyone interested in participating can visit the Greenwich Road Runners site to review entry information and weekly run times. The listed venues remain available for the published 2025 and 2026 dates.
