TripleThreat Half Marathon & 5K

Prepare for a captivating coastal run at the TripleThreat Half Marathon & 5K on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in picturesque Rockport, Massachusetts. Organized by YuKan Sports, LLC, this event offers both a challenging 13.1-mile Half Marathon and a fast 5K, taking participants on stunning courses along the New England coastline through Rockport and Gloucester.

The courses are lauded as some of the most scenic in New England, boasting oceanfront views and charming neighborhoods. The Half Marathon features a rolling terrain with an elevation gain of approximately 660-661 feet, largely on paved roads, though runners should note a short quarter-mile unpaved section around miles 3.5 and 9.5. The 5K course is predominantly flat. Aid stations are well-stocked, with the Half Marathon offering six stations with water, sports drink, and energy gel approximately every two miles, along with portable restrooms at miles 4.5 and 8. The 5K provides an aid station near mile 2 and refreshments at the finish. Typical race day conditions in early August include highs around 83°F and lows around 64°F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, suggesting warm summer running.

Runners frequently praise the TripleThreat for its beautiful scenery and vibrant community atmosphere. Finishers of both distances earn a custom medal, and age group awards are presented to the top three male and female runners in five-year categories. The race starts and finishes at Rockport High School, which also serves as the bib and shirt pick-up location on race day. Limited parking is available on-site, with additional options including a park-and-ride service with free shuttle buses. This USATF-sanctioned event promises an unforgettable summer challenge.
