Swanzey Covered Bridges Half Marathon, 2025
Race Starts: Sunday, August 31, 2025, at 8:00 a.m.
Registration and Check-In opens at 7:00 a.m.
Parking, Registration, Start/Finish Lines:
600 Old Homestead Highway, Swanzey, NH
Click Here to Join the Race!!
The Swanzey Covered Bridges Half Marathon is held each year in memory of its founder, Elijah Barrett. Elijah organized the event to donate the proceeds to help the students of Monadnock Regional Middle-High School. He had attended MRMHS and eventually coached runners there.
The race itself, mostly flat, fast terrain with a few gentle, rolling hills thrown in are par for the course along the Swanzey Covered Bridges Half Marathon - also called "Elijah's Race", in honor of the local runner who started it all. This race showcases the signature landmarks of the southwestern New Hampshire town, located just over 10 miles each from the borders with Massachusetts and Vermont.
The race course - with between 300-400 feet of elevation gain - features views and scenery that captures perfectly the quaint, authentic feel of New England, taking runners through bridges with names of Thompson, Carlton and Cresson, most of which date to the pre-Civil War era. Participants race across a course made up mostly of paved roads - though shortly after the start of the race, participants will enter a section of improved railroad bed and about a mile of dirt trails.
Thereafter, the race course returns to paved roads as it follows a counter - clockwise loop through the Swanzey area back to the finish at Monadnock Regional Middle-High School.
After the runners have crossed the finish line, there will be a post - race barbecue, with hamburgers and hotdogs, pasta salad and watermelon. Runners and joggers of all skill levels are welcome.
The race being held at Monadnock Regional Middle-High School allows the use of bathrooms, locker rooms and post race showers. There are also 6 water stations spread throughout the course, with every other table supplying gatorade!

MRM Annual Member Meeting, 2025
This spring the Board of Directors took the time to sit down and do a full review of the MRM Club Bylaws. With this review, we found a few areas that we are suggesting be amended to fit the Club’s calendar of events and current functions. In addition to the more “knitty gritty” details of club function, we also found that there are a whole slew of Board Member positions available beyond the ending terms of the Co-Presidency and Secretary.
Bylaw Amendments require a quorum (13 members), ⅔ majority vote, and members must be notified at least 7 days ahead of time regarding the matters at hand.
The Bylaws are available at the following links to be reviewed ahead of time.
Proposed Amendments to Bylaws Explained - Each of these will be voted on individually.
“Rolling”
Membership currently operates on a rolling basis for renewal - welcoming members to join at any time during the year. In the original Bylaws, all memberships expired on December 31st.
“The applicant must be (18) eighteen years old on the date of application for membership, or if they are less than (18) eighteen must have at least (1) one legal parent or guardian sign off on their membership application.”
The Club used to utilize “single” and “family” membership statuses. Club membership is now only for individuals and requires the proposed adjustments allowing those under 18 years of age to join with parent/guardian consent.
“Membership will be structured in a tiered format with increasing benefits to each tier, to be determined by the Board on an annual basis. Refer to “Finance - A” for further details on membership dues. Tiers will be as follows:
Basic Membership
Supporting Membership
Sponsoring Membership”
The Club now utilizes a tiered membership and the board felt it important to provide some outline of this within the bylaws.
“Co-Presidents” and related to the Vice President position “This position is void if the Presidency is a shared (2) person Co-Presidency title.”
Co-Presidency has been utilized and with its use the Vice President position becomes null for that term. The VP position opens when the next term comes open alongside the Presidency position.
“Term of office shall begin September 1st, after the close of the annual meeting, held between May and August.”
The most recent change in Club leadership took place in the month of November leaving very little time to organize the MRM’s biggest event, the Winter Chillers Series and coinciding with the heaviest time of membership enrollment/renewal. The Board is recommending that the date of transition of positions be shifted to September 1st and that the annual meeting be held between May and August (previously ‘after January 1st’) to allow for a smoother transition of hands and allowing time for the new Board of Directors to make and implement changes as they see fit.
Treasurer Term & Addition of Treasurer Elect position
“Treasurer - Officer of the club, and Member of the Board of Directors, (2) two years, in addition to (1) one year position as Treasurer Elect.”
“Treasurer Elect - Officer of the club, and Member of the Board of Directors.
To overlap by at least (1) one year with the transition out of office of the Acting Treasurer, in order to ensure a smooth financial transition for the club.”
The Board is recommending an increase from a 1 year term to a 2 year term as Treasurer AND the creation of a “Treasurer Elect” position with a 1 year term due to the need for overlap in order to train and smoothly hand off finances for the club. There is a “learning curve” for this position that impacts the legal/tax status of the club.
The President/Co-Preseident and Vice President Positions will open with the end of the term for both Becka and Smith. The Secretary position will open with the end of the term for Tena. Additional positions are listed that are not currently filled.
Open Board Positions Include:
President (or Co-Presidents) - 2 Year Term
Vice President - 2 Year Term
Secretary - 1 Year Term
Volunteer Coordinator(s) - 1 Year Term
Competition Director - 1 Year Term
Social Director - 1 Year Term
If you are interested in a position, please notify us via email with what position you are interested in taking on and a brief statement on why you would like to fill the role. If you have questions about a specific role, please also let us know and we can provide further detail. We will send out an email to all Club Members ahead of time so they know who is looking to fill which positions.

A quick blurb from his website, “Prolotherapy, a form of regenerative orthopedics, is a nonsurgical pain treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing response to repair injured or weakened joints, ligaments and tendons. The weakened areas are injected with a solution, a “proliferant”, that initiates growth of healthy tissue to restore function, mobility and eliminate pain. Prolotherapy has been practiced in the US since the 1930’s and endorsed by US former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. It is a very effective treatment for musculoskeletal injuries including arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, joint instability and more.”
We look forward to seeing you there!

While Becka has taken the Wednesday night sessions off her work schedule, it’s possible she might show over the next month. Below are the scheduled, non-manned workouts for September.
All workouts start with a Warm Up Loop and end with a Cool Down Loop, and I recommend a good refueling to recover:)

300m “recovery,” 300m “quick,” 100m “recovery,” 100m “quick”
Sep 11 - 600s x 4 - 6 Reps

200m with WALKING 200m Recovery Between

One Minute Pick Ups on the Rail Trail
Warm Up to Rail Trail x 10 Min
- 1 Min Quick, 1 Min Recovery x 10 Reps (turn around after you’ve completed your 5th rep)
Cool Down Back to School
40 - 60 Min Negative Split on the Rail Trail
Go out for ½ the total time, come back faster (a second faster is still faster, especially when you consider the hill you have to finish up)!
Southfield Lane Hill Repeats
Warm Up to the base of Southfield Lane (or longer) and set a Cone/Water Bottle at ¼, ½, ¾, and Top of the hill (I think marks still exist on the road or approximate) while you are at it!
Run to ¼, return to base, run to ½, return to base, run to ¾, return to base, run to Top, return to base. Repeat 3-5 times. Cool down back to the school.
