HOOMPA Nickel 5 Miler Road Race

The HOOMPA Nickel 5 Miler Road Race, held in Nahant, Massachusetts, is a scenic coastal event featuring a 5-mile run, a 5-mile walk, and a 1-mile kids fun run, all dedicated in memory of Bobbie-Jo Blair. The course offers a mix of gentle uphills and downhills along Nahant’s coastline, including challenging hills like the "HOOMPA Hill" at mile two and a final uphill on Ocean Street before a downhill finish at the historic Nahant Life Saving Station. The race is sponsored by the Nahant American Legion Post 215, with proceeds supporting veterans and families.

Participants registering early receive T-shirts, and a post-race party with awards is held at the American Legion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
