Savin Rock Marathon & Half Marathon

Savin Rock Marathon & Half Marathon is held in West Haven, Connecticut, on April 3, 2027. Two distances are offered, the marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles). Start times are not confirmed in the schedule, so check with the organizers before building your race-morning plan around a particular hour.

An early-April date on the Connecticut shoreline suits runners who have trained through a New England winter and want to use that fitness before the weather turns warm. For the marathon, work back 16 to 18 weeks from race day, build the weekly long run toward 20 miles, and keep the bulk of your other running genuinely easy. The half is the smarter option if your winter was broken up by weather or illness, and it also serves as a strong rehearsal if you are pointing at a full marathon later in the spring or in the fall.
