Looking for motivation to run this winter? Need to train for a spring marathon? How about a winter adventure on Hampton Beach? It's not as bad as it sounds... The average temperature on a February day is 35 degrees with an 8-10 mph wind. Not bad for running a good long run, or racing a half marathon. Cool Long Sleeve Race Shirts, Acid Green, long sleeve wicking shirts - NOW in Men's and Women's styles! Additionally, we will provide a scenic coastal loop and provide accomplished PACERS to help you reach your goals and make your times.

The Course: This is one of the easiest and flattest courses around. You'll start and finish in Hampton Beach at the classy Ashworth by the Sea Hotel and the "Old Lady of the Sea" Marine Memorial.

From there the course travels 8 miles over fairly flat rural roads in Hampton and North Hampton and then runs 5 miles back to the finish with the ocean roaring immediately on your left.

WALKERS & RUNNERS WELCOME----The race welcomes walkers and runners of all abilities spanning all over the country. While this race is only in its second year, we do expect over 1,000 runners to celebrate their fitness over this exceedingly beautiful course.

Course Elevation ----The course is quite easy with only two medium hills. Mile 1-3 and the last several miles (9 to 13) are totally flat. .

Weather History ----The weather on this date averages 38 degrees, 85% of the time the weather is dry with winds 8-12 mph. Fifteen percent of the time...well let's say it's winter in New Hampshire.

PACERS: Looking to run a certain time? Join our accomplished pacers for any pace from 8:00/mile to 11:00/mile. Our pacers will keep you right on track the whole way.
