BRISTOL — Lace up your running shoes and get ready for the 2022 New Hampshire Marathon. Registration is now open for “one of the most beautiful races in New England.” Meet in Bristol on Saturday, Oct. 1 as a runner, volunteer, or sponsor.
The NH Marathon was first held in 1993 as a single race event run mainly around Newfound Lake and has since evolved into four different events: the 26.2 mile marathon, a 13.1 mile half marathon, a 10k race, and a kids’ marathon run in sections that finishes on race day. Now, over 600 runners come not only from New Hampshire and across the U.S. but international runners also flock to Bristol, as well to compete in these prestigious events. Both the marathon and half marathon have been recognized as superior events by Runners’ World and the 100 Half Marathons Club.
Over the years, sponsor fees, race entry fees, and funds from related events have contributed over $325,000 to three local organizations: the Tapply-Thompson Community Center, Circle Program, and Camp Mayhew. These groups provide important support to area youth through year-round programs touching and enriching the lives of over 500 children a year.
Register for any of the races now at nhmarathon.com.
Not a runner? You can register to volunteer at the race website listed above or email race@nhmarathon.com for information on becoming a sponsor.
