- The 1st annual Seacoast United Crossbar Challenge 5K takes place on a scenic, point-to-point course on a summer evening in August. The 5:30pm start is at the Amesbury Sport Park, proceeds down South Hunt Road and takes a quick right onto scenic South Martin Road. There is a bit of a decline after South Martin Road turns into Beacon Street. Once you make a right onto Pleasant Valley Road, you will see the beautiful Merrimack River as you run to the halfway point for the turn to head back the way you came. The event ends at the Amesbury Sport Park where you will be greeted by volunteers and well-wishers. You will be able to enjoy dinner after the race at the newly renovated Crossbar Pub. Yankee timing will be handling our chip timing and there will be prizes at each age level.
The race will begin at 5:30 pm with bib, t-shirt pick up and late registrations starting at 4:00. The course has one decline in the first mile and one incline in the third mile. Parking is available on site at the Amesbury Sport Park.
