Get Ready!
Join us on Oct. 25, 2026, for the 2026 Seacoast Half Marathon. The scenic course winds through the historic coastal communities of Portsmouth, Rye, and New Castle, offering stunning views of New Hampshire’s Seacoast. In a race calendar crowded with corporate, for-profit events, the Seacoast Half is the only purely local, purely charitable race of its kind — and has raised nearly $2 million for worthy area nonprofits.
2026 Beneficiary
This year's beneficiary is Krempels Brain Injury Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with acquired brain injury through evidence-based programming, shared experiences, and support in a welcoming community.
Krempel's innovative programming is geared toward the unique and varied needs of brain injury survivors. The Krempels community is characterized by a deep and abiding respect for each individual, and the goal of helping each person achieve their maximum potential and satisfaction with life.
