Fast and flat for nearly its entire 13.1 miles, the Gulf Beach Half Marathon takes runners on an out-and-back course that starts at Milford’s Gulf Beach Recreational Center and takes runners all the way down to Cedar Beach and back, with views of the Long Island Sound for most of the race. Runners also will cross portions of the brand-new boardwalk in Silver Sands State Park, and run through the neighborhood surrounding Milford Harbor and Gulf Pond.
