As we wrap up the month, join us for Bristol Trick or Treat on October 31st from 5:00 to 7:30pm, rain or shine. And don’t forget to get your scare- crows ready for Scarecrows in the Square! Visit our website at www.ttccrec.org or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ TTCC1946 for more informa- tion on these and all of our Oc- tober programs. We hope to see you out and about this autumn at one of our many events!
With Autumn upon us and October on its way, we wanted to highlight our upcoming monthly events and other annual pro- grams that have started back up, such as our Every Child is Ours - Weekend Food Supplement Program and the Operation Warm - Winter Clothing Drive. Kicking things off is the 33rd NH Marathon held on October 3rd which will once again be circum- navigating Newfound Lake and circling through our communi- ties with over 800 runners partic- ipating in the 26.2-mile run. The events also include the 13.1 half marathon, the 10K road race & kids race. With the help of their generous sponsors, the NH Mar- athon has raised and donated over $445,000 since 1995 to local youth-centered non-profit organizations.
Participants in the 10K run
October Events at the TTCC
and marathon will begin on Lake Street, in front of the Newfound Memorial Middle School at 9am while the Half Marathoners will start at Sculptured Rocks in Groton. Downtown Bristol traf- fic going both ways will be tem- porarily delayed while runners start out. (North Main Street will remain open as a detour). A big event means the NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS is greater than ever with many tasks required to ensure the safety of participants, spectators and drivers. Jobs in- clude helping with registration, parking cars, directing traffic, and staffing water stops along the route. If you would like to be a part of this amazing annual event, please contact the Race Committee at race@nhmara- thon.com.
