The NH Marathon is an all- day event beginning at 9 AM. It brings together runners, vol- unteers, and spectators to cele- brate fitness, community, and support. Participants challenge themselves on the course, while friends, family, and local resi- dents line the streets to cheer them on. The NH Marathon creates a positive, welcom- ing atmosphere where every- one—from competitive athletes to casual joggers—can enjoy the experience. It’s a day that strengthens community ties and makes people proud of their accomplishments and contribu- tions. Let’s do this, Newfound!
