Nice scenery, lots of hills
Nice race to run in colder weather with a challenging, hilly course. Great refreshements afterwards - apple cider and pumpkin donuts, holiday cookies, and the standard bananas and granola bars MORE

This is a great race. The views though Gloucester and Rockport are amazing. Long stretches of oceans, shoreline and sea rocks. You also run through beautiful old sea side neighborhoods. Well run and supported with good volunteers and aid stations. Some windy rolling hills to keep it interesting. Medal was just ok but long sleeve tech shirt was top notch. After party at Cape Anne Brewery was great- all runners and 1 free beer. If you are looking for a December half to finish the year and keep you training, this is is! You won’t be disappointed.
Beautiful Year End Half Marathon
I imagine this race can be frigid and windy, but we had a stellar day last year in '15. I am really looking forward to running it again on December MORE
