About the Race.
Designed as a pre-Boston Marathon training race, the Eastern States 20 Mile (formerly Border to Border) Race has been called "the single best and freshest idea in road running in ten years." The race runs through historic Portsmouth, along scenic Route 1A overlooking the Atlantic, to the finish in Hampton Beach.

If you are looking for a flat fast 20 mile run then the Eastern States 20 Mile is your best bet. "It is one of those races that everyone should do one time or another," says race director Don Allison. The race also fits nicely into the training schedule for those training for the Boston Marathon. Read the rest of this story!

Also! Run for the Border Half Marathon - 11:00 a.m., Wallis Sands Beach, Rye, New Hampshire to the Massachusetts border.
​
New this year! We've added a 5K, which starts at 11:00am in the Hampton Beach State Park, Hampton, New Hampshire and dashes to the finish line just across the Massachusetts border. 
We do hope you will join us on Sunday, March 24, 2019 for our 24th year running along the Seacoast. This is a race for everyone, and a great destination event. Last year we had runners from nearly half the states in the USA participate. Where else can you run in three different states in one race (or two, in the Half-Marathon & 5K)?
