Seacoast Half Marathon

Our Mission Statement:

"Caring for the coast, one step at a time" is our motto. Each year, we donate 100% of the net proceeds to a mindfully selected seacoast non-profit organization. We strive to put on a well-organized and safe event that highlights the beauty of New Hampshire's historic seacoast. We encourage all level of athletes to enjoy themselves while also providing them an opportunity to significantly benefit our community.

What's New:

The 2012 Seacoast Half Marathon beneficiary is Families First Health & Support Center. Families First Health & Support Center is the community health center and family resource center serving the Seacoast region of New Hampshire and Southern Maine, with affordable primary health care for all ages, parenting and family programs, prenatal care, dental care and mobile health care for the homeless. Families First works with numerous other non-porfit organizations in the region to ensure those agencies' clients are well-servied. The Seacoast Half Marathon organizing committee is proud to be supporting and spotlighting Families First Health & Support Center this year.

Volunteers Needed!

People come to this race from about 20 states around the country, Canada and Europe each year, and it is the volunteers who create such a welcoming atmosphere and help make the race a tremendous success. We cannot put on this race without you!

As a Seacoast Half Marathon volunteer, you'll get coffee and donuts to start your day, a long-sleeve 'race staff' shirt, and the satisfaction of helping to put on a race that is raising much-needed funds for this year's beneficiary - Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Seacoast.

The race is on Sunday, November 11, at Portsmouth High School. Set-up will start at 6am. Packet pick-up opens at 6:45. The race starts at 8:00 (walkers) and 8:30 (runners).

The jobs for which we need volunteers are: General set-up; packet pick-up; course marshall; finish line (handing out water and medals); post-race food set-up and serving; post-race clean-up.
