Running the Seacoast Half Marathon course…this Saturday, October 27th at 8am from the Portsmouth High School.
If you are training for the half or just would like to run the course, join us on Saturday, October 27th. If you do not want to run the 13.1 miles, you can continue straight at the gas station back to the high-school and that will be about 9.5 miles. We will have 3 waterstops on the course for you. In addition to the CAA group, the Runner’s Alley group will be joining us as a way to introduce them to our club as well as help motivate them through the 13.1 miles.
Not running the Seacoast Half? We need your help!
In the past CAA has provided over 50 volunteers for registration and course work…if interested in lending a hand on Sunday, November 11th, please contact Jeanine at jeanine@runnersalley.com. Thank you in advance for your help, a road race can not be successful without the help of volunteers.
