Course Description

You can read a more detailed version of this course description here.

Our course starts in the center of Hampton Beach near D Street, close to the famous Seashell on Hampton Beach.

First you will do a quick loop around the one-way section up to the Hampton Beach State Park and back past the start. Then north on Ocean Boulevard for about 1 mile. After a foliage laden loop of Hampton's rural roads and neighborhoods it takes a flat and rolling course into the small but picturesque town of North Hampton.

This is a "loop" course where the top of the loop eventually ends back up on Rt. 1A before mile 8. You will continue past North Hampton State Beach. Finally you'll return to Hampton Beach to the finish at the Hampton Beach Seashell.
