Overall Rating: Excellent. I’m not a huge fan of loop courses, but this one was outstanding.
Course Difficulty: Not bad. It was a moderately hilly dirt/cinder trail along the Nashua river. There were a few land mines (aka rocks and roots) but the majority of the course felt really good underfoot.
Course Scenery: Perfect. Good representation of NH and I was never bored because of the terrain.
Race Production: There was a little confusion at the beginning over the short out and back, but otherwise, flawless. This crew does a really good job with aid stations and accommodating the runners.
Race Swag: Good. Nice state shaped medal, and a dry blend t shirt.
My Performance: Wasn’t sure what to expect, as this was the first time I had done 4 back to back marathons. All in all it was ok. I didn’t push really hard, but I didn’t walk the whole thing either. Definitely a little tender in the knees.
I had a great running friend along the way who kept me going in the low spots. The loop trail length (4.8ish miles) was perfect.
