Westfield Half Marathon

Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield Half Marathon/5K/10K/Kids Fun Run will start at 9:00 a.m. on September 10th, 2022. Due to ongoing construction on our course we have to change the course for this years race. The race will start and finish at the Boys & Girls Club. It will follow the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail And Southwick Rail Trail south to the turnaround point for each race and then head back north on the rail trail to the Boys and Girls Club finish line.

All runners will receive a unique medal, short sleeve technical shirt (first 400 runners) and access to the post-race party at Amelia Park, where results will also be posted. The post-race party will include several types of salads, egg sandwiches (due to early start), hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, and music! The Westfield Half started in 1994 when a group of runners from the Empire One Running Club approached the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield with the idea of a half marathon fundraiser. Since then, we have seen the Westfield Half grow from 142 to well over 600 runners. In 2011, there were nearly 1,000 participants! We have also added a 10K, 5K run/walk race and children’s race as well. Since that first race 28 years ago, this event has raised ~$275,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield.
