SMUTTYNOSE ROCKFEST HALF MARATHON

CHARITY TEAM

COMING SOON

The Bay State Games Charity Running Team gives runners the opportunity to raise funds for Bay State Games while running Hampton Beach's Fun Run. Complete the 5K or 13.1-mile course along Hampton Beach. Thanks to the support of Ventures Endurance, Bay State Games has opportunities available to run some of New England’s most scenic and iconic road races while raising funds to support the organization's numerous recreation and education based programs that annually impact thousands of participants of all ages and abilities. Each team member will be responsible for raising a minimum of $500, which includes the race registration fee.

Runners would be responsible to raise a minimum of $500 to receive guaranteed entry into the Maine Coast Marathon or the Maine Coast Half Marathon.

This year's Half Marathon and 5K race will take place October 5, 2025.

This race travels throughout Portland, Maine passing scenic landmarks like Casco Bay, Back Cove and historic Old Port Neighborhoods.

If you are interested in running the Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon and raising money to support important programming which benefits thousands of participants annually, applications are now being accepted. Go to the “join our team” link above to fill out an application to become a member of our team. Filling out the form does not automatically confirm your placement on the team.

You will be required to sign and return this agreement as well as provide a credit card as collateral for your fundraising minimum.
