The classic fall marathon (and half marathon) in the Monadnock region!

Whether you’re a first-timer or a 50-stater, there’s only one race to run in New Hampshire. At DeMar, you’re not treated as an entrant, but a guest of honor.

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 founded the race, Elijah Barrett — which showcases the signature landmarks of this southwestern New Hampshire town, located just over 10 miles each from the borders with Massachusetts and Vermont.

Franklin Pierce University is the host for the Monadnock half marathon with rolling hills (a few challenging), some dirt roads, and inspirational views of the Mt. Monadnock (world-renowned). The 5K is out and back on the half marathon course. Runners can enjoy the small beach on Pearly Pond after the race.
