The Old Port Half Marathon 2024 is all set to be held on June 8 in and around the city of Maine in Portland. Established in 2011, it encompasses two events: the 5K race and the Half Marathon.
Besides bearing its competitive spectrum, the race is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of the city of Portland. The event is also an act of tribute to the Shipyard Brewing company which uptakes a lot of the financial expenditure.
Registration for the 2024 Old Port Half Marathon can be done through its official website. The competitors will have to pay an entry fee first to take part in the tournament (59 Dollars for the 5K race and 109 Dollars for the Half Marathon event). However, entry limits to the virtual events of the marathon have already been filled.

The course of the race starts from the Old Port in Portland and goes along the city, traversing Portland's Waterfront and finishing near the Old Port again.
The top three finishers from both men's and women's sections of the marathon are awarded with the medals. Additionally, the top three performers from the varied age groups of the marathon also receive medals from the organizing committee. Besides, runners breaking the course record in either the marathon or the 5K event will receive an additional bonus.
Except for the race, the organizing committee has also arranged for an afterparty, which will provide the contestants with various types of snacks and food along with aerated drinks.
On that note, let's dig deeper into the schedule and order of events for the 2024 edition of the Old Port Half Marathon:
