Rockfest Half Marathon

The Smuttynose Rockfest Half Marathon & 5K takes runners to the coast at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, on October 5, 2025. The event offers two distances: a half marathon and a 5K, and bills itself as New Hampshire’s largest half marathon and 5K, with participants across the field. The course is wrapped in a rock-and-roll atmosphere, featuring on-course jams to keep things moving, and a post-race party with live music, complimentary Smuttynose craft beer for 21+, and signature lobster rolls (vegetarian option available).

Registration includes Rockfest gear, a premium finisher medal, official race photos, a timed course, and after‑party access. Groups, charity partners, and sponsorship options are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
