Welcome to the New Hampshire Marathon, runners! 🏃♂️🌲
The big day is almost here! We are thrilled to welcome athletes from all over to experience the incredible peak autumn foliage around the beautiful Newfound Lake area. Whether you are tackling the full marathon, the half, or the 10K, you’ve done the training—now it’s time to crush those goals!
An event of this scale simply wouldn't be possible without our incredible community. A massive thank you goes out to the dedicated volunteers who are out here cheering, directing traffic, and keeping everyone safe, as well as the generous sponsors whose continued support makes this race a reality every single year.
Over 30 years ago, Ralph Shackett and a committee of dedicated community members introduced the New Hampshire marathon to our Newfound Lake Community. Shackett’s Store is grateful to continue offering our support and sponsorship to the marathon. 
💧 Runner Reminder: As you push through the course, don't forget to pace yourself and stay hydrated! There is a dedicated water stop right at Shackett's Store in Bristol to keep you fueled and moving strong.
Good luck to everyone out there tomorrow. Let's make it an unforgettable race! 🥇🍂
