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.

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
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.
