Dover Running: Historic Lanes and Seacoast Rollers
Running in Dover, one of New Hampshire’s oldest cities, is a scenic and historic journey that utilizes the area’s beautiful river valleys and challenging topography. The city's main distance events, often focused on half marathon or 10K courses, are characterized by classic New England rolling hills. This is definitively not a flat speed course; runners must be prepared to tackle the constant, strategic elevation changes that define the Cocheco River region, making any fast time a hard-earned victory over the landscape.
The Cocheco River and Historic Downtown Tour
The courses offer an intimate tour of the city’s heart, weaving through the historic downtown area and along the banks of the Cocheco River. These stretches near the river often provide the only truly flat relief before runners climb back into the tree-lined residential areas. The city’s historic architecture provides a charming backdrop, offering a sense of colonial endurance to match the runner's own. The commitment to using both urban streets and scenic country roads ensures a varied and visually engaging experience.
The event calendar is supported by a passionate local running community that embraces the challenge of the terrain. Whether you are tackling the distance to conquer the Seacoast rollers and enjoy the riverfront scenery or enjoying a shorter race through the historic center, running in Dover delivers a vigorous, authentic, and uniquely New Hampshirite running adventure.
