BRISTOL — Jeremy Hiltz Excavating, Inc. is proud to return as the title sponsor of the 33rd Annual New Hampshire Marathon, taking place Saturday, Oct. 3, amid the breathtaking fall foliage of the Newfound region. Their continued commitment ensures that this long‑standing community tradition remains one of New Hampshire’s most meaningful and impactful athletic events.

The NH Marathon features four races — the full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and Kids' Marathon — welcoming runners of all ages and abilities. Last year’s event broke participation records, drawing 864 runners from 43 states, Washington D.C., and five countries, making it the largest field in the event’s history.

In 2025, the women’s marathon also saw an exciting milestone: a new women’s course record, set by Natalie Hattan of North Sandwich, who crossed the finish line in 3:05:56.

For more than three decades, the NH Marathon has remained committed to strengthening the lives of local youth. All proceeds are donated to three Lakes Region nonprofit organizations serving children and teens:

  • Circle Program: Providing year‑round mentoring, enrichment, and free summer camp for New Hampshire girls.
  • Mayhew Program: Supporting New Hampshire boys through a tuition‑free summer program and year‑round mentoring.
  • Tapply‑Thompson Community Center: Offering youth sports, after‑school programs, and family supports that strengthen the Newfound region.

These organizations expressed their gratitude again this year for Hiltz’s continued generosity and belief in the power of youth development — support that helps sustain life‑changing programming across the region.

“We are honored to continue as the lead sponsor of such a wonderful community event that supports area youth,” said Jeremy Hiltz, owner of Jeremy Hiltz Excavating, Inc.
