The 2016 Granite State Marathon is the second in a 5 day series of the New England Challenge which is 5 Marathons in 5 Days in 5 States.The Granite State Marathon & Half Marathon will be run along the very beautiful and scenic Nashua River in Nashua, New Hampshire. The race will start and finish at Mine Falls Park circular parking lot. We will be set up about 5am for Race Day Registrations. There will be 2 aid stations; one at the Start/Finish line and a second aid station at the half-way point that goes out of the park, through a parking lot and back into the park. Although this race is in the Spring time, be prepared for some light rain and wind.
This is a great marathon series for those that are tired of the super marathons with thousands of people. Our races only hold 300 people each and are held in beautiful garden parks. This is a very nice easy paced race that is also close to your parked vehicle for easy access to your belongings. Our staff will cheer you on by name! Every runner is treated like an Elite athlete! Run with Savage Racing, Inc. in our New England Challenge Series for your Boston Qualifying also. No stress, No pressure, No crowds! Just a great Spring time race.
Please meet in the circular driveway at least 15 minutes before race start for further instructions. The YMCA is allowing our runners to go to their gym for $10 to get showers.
