Harvard Pilgrim Seafood Fest 5K
The Harvard Pilgrim Seafood Fest 5K takes place in Hampton, New Hampshire on Sunday, September 12, 2027. The event includes a seaside 5K and a children’s beach fun run, plus a virtual participation option.
The 3.1 mile course runs along Route 1A on New Hampshire’s seacoast as an out and back route and finishes on the sand at Hampton Beach, adjacent to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival. Race registration includes entry into the Seafood Festival, which features Wicked Bites culinary demonstrations, more than 80 vendors, a beer garden for ages 21 and over, live music, games and other activities.
Race offerings and logistics include:
- 5K
- 100 yard Lil' Lobster Run, ages 4 and under, 5 to 6, 7 to 8
The Lil' Lobster Run provides a Dartmouth Health Children’s medal at the finish for participants in the kids divisions. A pre race yoga session on the beach is offered and requires advance registration. Early bib pick up is available at the Millennium Running retail store in Bedford the day before the event. Parking near the start and finish uses metered and municipal spots with a pay by plate system.
Post race refreshments include water, Powerade, fresh bananas and yogurt provided by Stonyfield Organic. Participants 21 and over may redeem a beer ticket in the festival beer garden; additional beers are available for purchase. Awards are given to the top three overall men and women and to the top three in five year age groups and must be claimed at the Awards Tent. Digital race photos are provided free and finishers receive a finisher video link after the event.
