For over 30 years, runners have been able to participate in the spectacular New Hampshire Marathon. This race is unlike any other. With its scenic beauty and community atmosphere, it certainly doesn’t feel like you’re running 26.2 miles.
“The event features a course around Newfound Lake during our most spectacular season, peak foliage. For the past few years, the NH Marathon has at- tracted runners from all 50 states and 10 countries.” Participants have the choice to run a full mar- athon, half-marathon, or a 10k. There is also a fun kids’ mara- thon event that ends the day with one exciting mile.

Plymouth Elks Lodge 2321 recently presented Jay Stevens with their award for Citizen of the Year.

Even after retirement, Stevens still maintains his dedication to NHSP though by working as an Auxiliary Trooper, assigned to the N.H. Information and Analysis Center. There his mission is to help reduce criminal gun vio- lence in the state.
