The start and finish is located on Water Street by the Carriage House in downtown Amesbury, MA!  This large loop course takes runners through Amesbury, Newton NH and South Hampton NH.

The majority of the course is run on paved and tree-lined roads that show off the beauty of the region while providing some shade on the sunniest of days. While the course has some hills, most of the hills are small rolling hills, with one steady incline during the first three miles of the race.
