Last year’s third effort was successful and proved that we could keep the runners and their family and friends in the downtown by giving them plenty to do and see. DNB, Inc. will once again be organizing this event and produce a brochure/map guiding visitors to the participating businesses to eat, drink, shop. The “scavenger hunt” style event was enjoyable for families and “kids” of all ages getting their map stamped from at least half the businesses allows participants to win great prizes.

Some of the changes that the New Bedford Half Marathon Committee made kept more people both pre and post race in the downtown. The field of runners this year is expected to reach 3500 with this being the 35th Anniversary of the race. This means Downtown New Bedford will host a combined audience of runners and spectators that could reach
5,000 people! |
