Niantic Bay Boardwalk 5K

April 22 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm

Niantic Main Street invites you to the Niantic Bay Boardwalk 5K Run/Walk. This year, we’re rebranding the race to shell-ebrate everything under the sea! Participants are encouraged to dress as mermaids, sea monsters, sea creatures and more. Prizes awarded for best costume and best group costume. Proceeds from the race will go towards downtown revitalization. We hope you join us for this turtle-y awesome event this year!

5K Runners and walkers will enjoy a mostly flat course from Niantic’s McCook Point Park through the charming Village of Niantic, along Main Street and the Boardwalk, to a sparkling finish at Hole-in-the-Wall Beach. Post-race festivities and awards follow at the pavilion in McCook Point Park. Bring your family and friends and spend the day by the bay!
