New Year's Day Hangover Classic

The WCRC New Year's Day Hangover Classic is a festive running event held at Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts, featuring both 5K and 10K road races. Both races start and finish at the same line with chip timing, on flat, fast courses entirely along beachfront roads, avoiding beach sand. Participants often celebrate the New Year with a post-race ocean plunge, followed by a lively party with music and beer at the Carousel.

The event embraces unpredictable January weather and has a 44-year history of running rain or shine unless roads are closed. Proceeds support the Winner’s Circle Running Club’s charitable and running programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
