While the starting line for the Eastern States 20 Miler lies across the state line in nearby Kittery, Maine, the half marathon will start in New Hampshire at Wallis Sands Beach State Park. From there, runners will follow highway 1A all the way south along the shoreline to the New Hampshire-Massachusetts state line — hence the “Run for the Border” in the race name — where they’ll cross the finish line for the half marathon.
