There will be clearly labeled parking available at the Cisco Auxiliary Lot, which is just a brief 2-minute walk from the Cisco Beer Garden and Start Line. There is also additional free parking at East Beach parking lots. Please see their website for more info: https://www.savebuzzardsbay.org/places-to-go/east-beach-new-bedford/.

Our volunteers will be available to guide you that morning. 

There is additional free public street parking on Norman Street, Clara Street, and Butler Street. Please do your best to avoid parking onsite at Cisco Brewers or on the major streets that will be partially closed for the race. Those streets are East & West Rodney French Boulevards and Brock Avenue.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be unable to offer the on-course water station this year. However, there will be ample water free of charge for all participants when you cross the Finish Line! To reduce waste, we highly reccomend you bring a water bottle. 

There will be no restrooms available along the course. However, there will be ample restrooms available to all participants at Cisco Brewers starting at 8am on Race Day.

All runners and walkers will line up at the official Start Line outside Cisco Brewers. Please be mindful of your own pace and be sure to line up in a location you feel matches that. We ask that walkers line up behind all runners to ensure they can get out onto the course safely and efficiently.

The course is a mostly flat 3.1 miles (5 kilometers) taking runners and walkers out along West Beach at Clark’s Cove, turning at Fort Taber, and on to the Finish Line at Cisco Brewers along beautiful East Beach tucked next to Buzzards Bay. Please note that, while roads are mostly blocked, we are asking ALL participants to remain on the right side of the road or, if you need to slow down, to move onto the adjacent sidewalks.

The Kids Fun Run will be aproximately 1/4 of a mile. It will not be timed. All participants will receive a bib and medal. 

Yes, please be ready to share their first and last names with us and bib number, if you have it. If you are picking up for a large team, please let us know ahead of time and we can place those bibs aside to expedite the process. 

Yes, this year we will leave online registration open until 10:15am. The race begins at 10am, but you will still be timed until 10:15am. This is now possible through our new partnership with Last Mile Racing. 

Yes, you may leave keys and other gear with staff at the registration table.
