If I were local, I’d run this race again. It’s a great race. Not outstanding, largely because the course itself doesn’t have the kind of scenery that a 5-star race would require, but it’s still a pretty course in places, and the start/finish line is a great staging area. There was food and beer at the end with plenty of other snacks.
The town of Newburyport is cute and it would have been great if the course had run through a few more of the streets here, although I realize making a course come out to 13.1 means you have some limits on where you can run. Not a bucket list race, but if you are in the region, it’s worth driving an hour or two to run this one.

Enjoyable course. Much to see.
Small rolling hills and very nice scenery along the way. Very much enjoyed this trip and race. Very well staffed and great people along the way. Certainly worth it. MORE
