Race Info
The Fool's Dual Half Marathon is a half marathon and 5K run together each spring in Gloucester, Massachusetts, starting and finishing at O'Maley Middle School on Cape Ann. The USATF-certified half marathon course follows the coastline for ocean views before finishing back at the school. YuKanRun organizes the race as part of its New England half marathon series; a planned 2020 running was cancelled due to the pandemic.
