Every October, New England gathers in Swansea & Rehoboth to take on 13.1 miles of small-town New England! Join us for a beautiful Half with Narragansett Beer & Downeast Hard Cider at the Finish Line! Also featuring Pumpkin Pie at the finish along with a harvest-themed after party!
The New England Harvest Half Marathon weaves through the beautiful, winding roads of Swansea and Rehoboth MA. Run entirely on pretty, rural town roads, this lollipop style route features some of the more scenic neighborhoods in the area.
The best way to describe this course would be “rolling.” All climbs throughout the course are relatively mild compared to many other New England half marathons, but there are a few that are quite challenging, including one immediately after the start as you leave the staging area and head out onto the back roads of the course. (This pays off later on as you’ll come down this hill into the finish!) However, the elevation profile on this course is quite mild, with just 343 feet of total gain on the whole course, making for the potential for fast times this October…
The entire course is run on paved roads.

Very small race. Excellent volunteer support at water stops. Only crowd support at beginning and finish. Rolling hills, but not too bad. The after party was great! Very very small race, but well done!
Great weather and rolling hills
Could not have asked for better weather. Definitely rolling hills. Fun atmosphere for the post race. Not a lot of crowd support, but thankful for those that cheered us on. MORE
