Niantic Main Street invites you to shell-ebrate the sea with the Niantic Bay Boardwalk 5K Run/Walk! Participants are encouraged to dress as mermaids, sea monsters, sea creatures and more. Prizes awarded for best adult costume, best child 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 sea-sational 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!
