Runners follow a flat beach course for the Ocean’s Run Half Marathon, which starts and finishes at Misquamicut State Beach, on Atlantic Avenue, just south of nearby Westerly. From there, runners follow the route’s first three miles out west toward a beautiful and primarily residential area of the Misquamicut beach community before turning back, past the start and finish areas to the east along Atlantic Avenue and gorgeous beach views. The second half of the half marathon course consists of another loop through Weekapaug, another residential area along the beach, before returning to the finish line along Atlantic Avenue.
