whole day is really upbeat,” said MacLean. “People are happy that they achieved a big goal. There are many great people involved, from volunteers, run- ners, and spectators.” Dan also informed me that his father, Fred MacLean, was on the commit- tee that got the Nh Marathon started back in 1993. Talk about a full-circle moment! This event has been happening for 29 years, and that’s nothing to cast aside. For 29 years, people have been coming from all over to par- ticipate in these eventful races, achieve goals, and give back to the community.

their sponsorship!
First held in 1993 as a single
race event, the NH Marathon has been New Hampshire’s best kept secret for 29 years! This year the NH Marathon is being run on October 1, 2022. The mission of the NH Marathon is to pro- mote a world class running event and to support area child-cen- tered organizations.
Over the years, donors’ fees, race entry fees, and funds from related events have contributed over $290,000 to three local or-
ganizations: the Tapply-Thomp- son Community Center, Circle Program, and The Mayhew Program. These groups provide important support to area youth through year-round programs
touching and enriching the lives of over 500 children a year. This would not be possible without the support of
community partners and busi- nesses.
Registration for the NH Marathon, half marathon, 10k, and kids’ run is now open. Ac- cess www.nhmarathon.com to
