The Ipswich Ale Half Marathon will take place on Saturday, April 29, 2023. The race starts and finishes at beautiful Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA. Don’t miss this popular half marathon on one of the prettiest courses you’ll ever run! Runners climb up and around the spectacular Crane Estate in the first mile – “Storming the Castle!” – before heading west on Argilla Road past open farmland, picturesque salt marshes and classic New England stone walls. The course winds through scenic neighborhoods along the Ipswich River before runners turn around and head back to Argilla Road and the final four miles to the finish line. To celebrate your race back at the beach, enjoy traditional runner recovery food, fresh pizza, grilled Kayem hot dogs and, of course, two free Ipswich Ale beers!
Hosted by the Ipswich Rotary, the Ipswich Ale Half Marathon would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors, partners and dozens of volunteers. Proceeds from the race go to the Ipswich Rotary Charitable Trust in support of local high school scholarships and other local charities. We want to thank our principle sponsors – Ipswich Ale Brewery and the Institution for Savings – for all that they do to make this race a success. We also want to express our gratitude to the Trustees of Reservations and the Ipswich YMCA for their extensive support.
