About the Nantucket Half Marathon
The course starts and finishes at Bartlett's Farm and moves through a mix of sandy beach roads, bike paths, and quiet neighborhood streets. Some stretches cross actual sand. Part of the route passes through a coastal preserve that the race highlights, a rare sand plain grassland that opens toward the ocean. Wind can be a real factor out there, depending on the weather.
A kids fun run happens alongside the main event, based out of the same farm start area, and each child goes home with a pumpkin from Bartlett's.
