Course Information

The Twin Lights Half Marathon is a 13.1 mile out and back course that begins at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester and leads runners along the seacoast of Cape Ann and through beautiful downtown Rockport. The seashore will be visible for most of the race's route and allows runners a close-up of many quaint views of some of New England’s most spectacular scenery.

The race will start in the Good Harbor Beach parking lot. Runners will exit the lot, and turn right to go north to follow Route 127A through downtown Rockport, continue north on Route 127 along the seacoast for a few more miles and loop around in Pigeon Cove and return south on 127 along the coast to finish inside Good Harbor Beach.

There will be 5-6 aid stations with water, Gatorade, and porta potties along the course.
