About the Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon

The Hallowed Half Marathon runs through a historic seaside town at the southern tip of a barrier island peninsula, with flat coastal streets and ocean air. The Halloween timing gives the race a different character than a typical fall road race, and the post-race awards party leans into it. The relay option means some runners are out there trading off legs rather than going the full distance solo.

Packet pickup is the evening before at the LaMer Beachfront Resort, with an early race-morning window as well. Parking is free on the street around the start area.

Common Questions About the Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon

Will I finish last at the Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:08:50, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:21:38, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 392 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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.

How competitive is the Cape May Hallowed Half Marathon?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:12:02 while the median finisher took 2:08:50. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
