Course

Two flat loops pass city streets and waterfront sections before the harbor finish. Separate start channels ease congestion, though turns and coastal wind can interrupt rhythm.

Race-day weather

Late November is usually cool, with Atlantic rain and wind the main risks. Exposed waterfront miles can feel colder than sheltered sections in town.
