The Ipswich Ale Half Marathon starts and finishes at beautiful Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA. Runners climb up and around the spectacular Crane Estate – “Storming the Castle!” – in the first mile before heading west on Argilla Road past open farmland, picturesque salt marshes and classic New England stone walls. The course winds through scenic neighborhoods along the Ipswich River before runners turn around and head back to Argilla Road and the final four miles to the finish line and a great post-race party!
Music will once again be provided by the dynamic team from Evolvement Music and we are excited to welcome back the talented pros from Bay State Physical Therapy who will be available to help with post race stretching and free injury screenings. All runners will get two free Ipswich Ale Brewery beers, and beer will also be available for purchase. I.D. will be required – NO EXCEPTION. In addition to traditional post-race bagels and bananas, runners will also be served free pizza! And thanks to the continued support and generosity of Kayem, everybody will be treated to free, grilled hot dogs! Don’t miss it!
Hosted by the Ipswich Rotary, the Ipswich Ale Half Marathon would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors, partners and dozens of volunteers. Proceeds from the race go to the Ipswich Rotary Charitable Trust in support of local high school scholarships and other local charities. We want to thank our principal sponsors – Ipswich Ale Brewery and the Institution for Savings – for all that they do to make this race a success. We also want to express our gratitude to the Trustees of Reservations and the Ipswich YMCA for their extensive support.

Great event. Starts and finishes at beautiful Crane Beach. Uphill Storm the Castle to the Crane Estate is tough, it won’t be your fastest Half Marathon, but Ipswich Ale and pizza at Crane Beach more than makes up for that.
