The Courses

Hampton Half

START TIME: 10:00AM

The course begins at B Street and Ocean Boulevard with a loop around downtown Hampton Beach. Runners will then heads north right along the Atlantic Ocean and turn inland for a loop on tree-lined roads before coming back out to the ocean at Mile 10. The course finishes with a three-mile stretch along the beach, ending back at the Start for a well-deserved party!

This course is very spectator friendly with great views of the runners at the Start, Mile 2, Mile 4, and at the Finish. All miles are marked with mile markers and all corners have at least one arrow. Race marshals and police will be stationed at any confusing corners.

The course is measured and certified by the USATF.
