The Big Lake Half Marathon is returning to Alton, NH for another day of scenic New England running! Join thousands of runners and spectators at New Hampshire’s most scenic road race, where you celebrate your finish with an after-party featuring refreshing craft beer and plenty of food!
The Big Lake Half Marathon follows a point-to point loop course that starts on Letter S Road in Alton and finishes in Alton Bay in front of Shibley’s at the Pier. Along the way runners are treated to spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The course then winds through pine-covered forest along the lake with quaint cottages and quiet roads. Once back on the main road it is only a few more miles of gently rolling hills. Finish at Shibley’s and enjoy a Cold Craft beer, some Jordan’s Ice Cream, Pizza and more while you relax and enjoy the post-race entertainment.

Organized with great volunteers ! Course was safe and water stops well manned. Race swag and top finisher prizes were good. Only negative was the after party. It was like you had to pry some food and information out of them. Many early finishers received no food and left on shuttle . The running was good though !
