Race Information

The Market Square Day 10K course begins and ends in two of Portsmouth’s most historic areas.

The Market Square Day Festival allows you to run on closed major Downtown streets, with the start line in the heart of the city, Market Square. In one of the area's most breathtaking race scenes, runners and walkers make their way down Congress Street, lined with festive booths and cheering crowds. The course winds its way around town, giving participants a unique look at the city and, in particular, the people who embrace this race. Don’t be surprised to see neighborhood breakfast parties along the route! The finish line is on Marcy Street next to the Strawbery Banke Museum.
