Runners start the out-and-back course for the John & Jessie Kelley Half Marathon in Ocean Beach Park, overlooking the Long Island Sound where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. From the starting line, you’ll follow roughly a clockwise loop route around New London and nearby Waterford, with stretches along Great Neck Road (and through Harkness Memorial State Park), North Shore Road and Rope Ferry Road. The final stretch of the race brings you through more commercial and populated areas, and features a view of the New London Harbor Lighthouse. Then, you’ll finish right back where you started, in Ocean Beach Park.
