When I rate race I think about what could of been better and I found several things that made the race less enjoyable. Parking was adequate for maybe 30% of participants. Porta potties for 10-20%. Over 100 people in line at race start. You could only get your shirt and packet race day. The course was out and back on mostly 2 lane road with traffic going in both directions as well and you are running in the road with cars trying to pass you. Shirt is an ugly color. The metal is plain and the water stops we’re plentiful but they put like only 1 oz of water in the cup, so I needed 2-3. They started the race (half) at 9:15 way too late for August…. Was already “hot” before we began. There was no anthem or music before the race just kinda line up and go (no corrals either). With a race this big people should be separated by pace
Positives. Many ocean breezes and 1/3 of the route was shaded. Many rolling hills on the course and a small section of gravel road along the beach, the rest paved. A good amount of people cheering and sitting in their front yards. Several places to stay In walking distance and lots of coastal MA things nearby.

Fun, quick race!

Triple threat is a challenge, but worth it!
The mile, 5k and half all finish up the same hill and it’s kind of neat to be able to race the same finish three times in a row.
The mile was fun, quick, and enoyable.
The views were spectacular, and the community was really great. So many friendly people. Would definitely recommend!

This course was hillier than it seemed, and with a 9:15am start it was unbearably hot! Luckily, so many amazing spectators cheered on runners and volunteered to spray us with hoses and handed out extra water.
