New Bedford Half Marathon

New Bedford Half Marathon Start

As if to announce the arrival of Spring, the New Bedford Half Marathon took place on March 20, 2022, after a two year hiatus. Nearly 2000 runners entered this year’s event, which many use as a warm-up for the Boston Marathon in April. The weather can be unpredictable for this event, but runners enjoyed temperatures in the mid-50’s this year.
