Can you say Rocktoberfest?
What happens when you plan a Rockfest Party and a Half Marathon race breaks out! Oh there's more.. A full marathon is now offered and we believe this will be THE COURSE to qualify on for Boston..- Yes - It's flat, Yes, its Scenic with a capital S and you won't want to miss the after-race partee! ! !
Join us in Hampton, NH, in 2010!
For 2010, The Smuttynose Rockfest will include two races, a half marathon and a full marathon. The half marathon will travel on a course almost identical to 2009. The full marathon will do one loop of the half marathon, then branch off at about mile 11.5 and go further into Hampton and North Hampton. The second loop of the marathon will contain 3-4 new miles of new course, then 8 miles or so of the first loop.
As of right now, the elevation guide we have shows this to be the flattest course in New England for a Marathon, and half marathon. The course will be certified and a Boston Qualifier with a start mat for both races..
The course is already certified and is a Boston Qualifier.
Celebrate your walk or run at Hampton Beach with an after-race feast including Smuttynose beer and a live Rock BAND!
