One of my favorite races in the New England area. The race starts in Kittery, Maine and runs all along route 1A past town beaches, lobster shacks and quaint small towns, through Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, and finishes just over the border in Salisbury, Massachusetts. The views were absolutely breathtaking and every moment of this race was scenic. The race shirts are great, although the medals were somewhat underwhelming and there was no expo for this race. However, the race was extremely well organized - I was impressed by the bus transportation from the parking lot at the Hampton Casino to the start in Kittery, Maine, and then again from the finish line in Salisbury, MA to the post-race food in Hampton. Food after the race was exceptional - 3 kinds of soup, pizza, cake, and plenty of other munchies. Bag check was super organized - they had my bag out before I could even hobble to the bus! The only downside was the aid stations 3 miles apart, which made for some challenging fueling - if I did it again, I would definitely carry my own water. Otherwise an awesome race experience!
