The Course

Race Route

The course we have chosen for this 5.3-mile race will run through the historic Padanaram section of Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Runners will be able to enjoy the scenery of this picturesque community as they run along a course set with tree-lined neighborhoods, rural scenery, an ocean causeway and the Padanaram Bridge. In Buzzards Bay, and only 5 miles west of "The Whaling City" of New Bedford, it is a peaceful yet challenging course. And after the race, runners and spectators can enjoy a variety of Padanaram Village shops, cafes, and restaurants.


Starting at Dartmouth High School on Bakerville Road, bearing left on to Gulf Hill Road the course reaches the 2 mile mark at just about the center of the Padanaram Bridge. The course then turns left onto Water Street and then right on to the short distance up Hill Street and then left on to Elm Street straight through to another left onto Russells Mills Road all the way back with the last left turn onto the final stretch of Bakerville Road finishing back at the High School.
