The terrain is flat along the shoreline, and the surrounding scenery is open water and forest. The race benefits a handful of local charities, including a state park conservancy and a historical society.

The Bay to Beacon - Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:11:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:59:44, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (47 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:34:50 while the median finisher took 2:11:08. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
