Market Square Day 10K
The Market Square Day 10K is a road race that opens the Market Square Day celebration in Portsmouth. The course winds through Downtown Portsmouth, beginning at Market Square in front of the North Church and finishing at historic Strawbery Banke. Runners pass through residential and festival areas, and neighborhood breakfast gatherings are often visible along the route.
The race typically draws about 1,000 participants. Since 2005 it has been part of the Seacoast Road Race Series, which runs from May through November and expanded to seven races across seacoast communities.

Many Downtown streets are closed for the Market Square Day Festival, which affects parking and traffic in the area. The event is presented by Pro Portsmouth Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes community events focused on local arts, culture, and history.
