What You Get
Unlike other races, your registration for The Hampton Half & 5k includes a lot of awesome stuff!

A sleek long sleeve zip up hoodie to help keep cozy in that crisp winter air a" AND a seaside style finishers medal that is just as great as the views on the run!

The course begins at J 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 on the boardwalk 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 course is measured and certified by the USATF.

The Hampton 5k is one of the most scenic road races in New England! The course is comprised of the first 3.1 miles of the half marathon course, which means you'll be cheered on by tons of spectators as you run beside the beautiful Atlantic ocean. After the finish, head on over to the Ashworth By The Sea Hotel for the after-party!

5k runners start alongside the half marathoners at 10 a.m. and also get hot soup and delicious Smuttynose beer (they just get the party started a little earlier)!
