Part of a series of road races taking place in cities along Massachusetts’ North Shore throughout the year, the Triple Threat Half Marathon is one of a series of running events designed to encourage both beginning and experienced runners to increase their distance and challenge themselves with new and greater running and fitness goals throughout the year.
Starting in April with the series’ first event, a one-mile run in nearby Gloucester, the series is designed to build both the confidence and the fitness levels of runners with steadily more challenging races. The April race is followed by a 5K, 5-miler, 10K and a 10-miler on the way to the half marathon, which debuts here on the Cape Ann peninsula in mid-August.
