The 5th Annual Hamden Hills Half Marathon and 5K is on the last Saturday of May in Memorial Day Weekend. Our Half Marathon course is challenging and picturesque as you run through the back country of Hamden. The course runs on the Rail-Trail for the first 2 miles and the last 2 miles offering a bit of flat ground to enjoy. This is the same course as last year. The 5K is 100% on the rail-trail just like last year. Chip timed, Short Sleeve Tech Race Shirts (male and female cut), great goodie bags and Custom Finisher Medals for the Half Marathon. SUBWAY is providing the post-race food. Gatorade, GU and Poland Spring Water at all Aid Stations (Miles 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 10.5)
Shoreline Sharks Races are all about the athlete's experience.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO PARKING IN THE DUNKIN DONUTS, AMITY LIQUORS PARKING LOT. Park in the Rail-Trail lot, Mt. Carmel Church lot or across the street in our new lot. Look for signs.
