Lace up for an unforgettable coastal running experience at the TripleThreat Half Marathon and 5K on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in picturesque Rockport, MA.

The Half Marathon course is classified as "rolling" with an elevation gain of 201.17 meters (660 feet), promising an engaging challenge with scenic climbs and descents along the coastline. Runners will enjoy stunning ocean views, beautiful New England homes, and even lighthouses, though a brief quarter-mile section of unpaved road near miles 3.5 and 9.5 adds to the varied terrain. The 5K, in contrast, offers a largely flat and enjoyable route through Rockport's scenic streets, perfect for those seeking a quicker pace. Both races feature generous support, with the Half Marathon providing six aid stations with water, sports drink, and energy gel every two miles, along with portable restrooms. The 5K includes a water station at mile two. Finishers for both distances are celebrated with medals and post-race refreshments, including Holy Cow Ice Cream, all kicking off and concluding at Rockport High School.
