Runners follow an out-and-back loop course for the Twin Lights Half Marathon along Cape Ann, between the starting and finish line area at Good Harbor Beach and nearly all the way up to Halibut Point State Park and back. The seashore is visible for most of the race route, which unfolds mostly along Thatcher Road and past the Delmater Sanctuary, an environmental preserve here. Once runners make it past the sanctuary, they continue on north and west into Rockport.
