This is a point-to-point race which I love. This race had some up and down during the first half (ie mix of inclines and down hill). Travel logistics was very easy. There was plenty of parking available at the high school (site of the Bib pick up) close to the start and finish. The scenery was great throughout the course.

The first half of the course has rolling hills. Most of the uphills had a downhill right after which was nice. Good amount of water stops. Almost no crowd and only a small number of participants. I wish I had more information about race day before getting there.
Beautiful fall colors
It is a beautiful time to run and see the fall colors. Starts and finishes in a quaint New England town with most of the course around a scenic lake. MORE

The volunteers were great! The food after was awesome! Last but not least the scenery was beautiful! My headphones broke and I had to run without music. It sucked, but the views made it worth it! There was a lot of hills but the other runners where awesome kept on motivating others to keep going! Very nice

The New Hampshire Half Marathon is a beautiful, scenic and hilly course, which circles Newfound Lake. The half marathoners are actually taken to the marathon halfway point by bus and start at mile 13.1 while the marathoners start at mile 1. The course has gorgeous views and often shows great fall foliage colors.
This is a small-town-feel race: little to no spectators, no fancy frills, but a great, challenging and rewarding course. The race medal is basically the same every year but the shirt changes. Post-race free showers and massages are available. This is a great race to double with the Maine Marathon (the next day) for those trying to finish 50 states on a budget.
Fall foliage season, bare-bones race

This is a runner’s race in that there’s very few bells and whistles to the organization. The start has no timing mat, the medal is a tiny, copper trinket, and the t-shirt’s neon green tint was a bit gaudy. However, I really enjoyed the race nonetheless because of the gorgeous fall colors all around me. The course is hilly, so be prepared for some elevation change, but it’s not the worst. Enjoy the flatness of miles 10 – 16, because before and after that you’ll be dealing with constant incline. Post-race showers were available and they were a blessing.
