The Hampton Half Marathon (and NEW 5K option) is returning to Hampton Beach, NH for another day of scenic New England running!
With an elevation gain of only 115 feet, the Hampton Half is one of the flattest, fastest and most scenic half marathons in New England, second only to the Smuttynose Rockfest Half in October!
The course begins at C Street and Ocean Boulevard with a loop around downtown Hampton Beach. It then heads north right along the Atlantic Ocean and turns inland for a loop on tree-lined roads before coming back out to the ocean at Mile 10. It 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 race starts in designated pace stalls. The course is measured and certified by the USATF.
Join thousands of runners and spectators at New Hampshire’s best half marathon & 5K, where you celebrate your finish with bone-warming hot soup and delicious craft beer from Harpoon!
