City of Manchester Marathon/Half Marathon

The first Sunday in November marks the Annual running of the Manchester City Marathon. The Manchester City Marathon has been named as the USATF – New England Championship Marathon for 2013. The MCM is a challenging Boston Qualifier that takes runners on a scenic trip through the historic mill district of the Granite State’s largest city. Runners in the full and half marathon will enjoy an exhilarating climb to one of the city’s highest points for fabulous views of the Queen City, surrounding areas, and beautiful fall foliage.

Located in southern NH, Manchester sits on the banks of the picturesque Merrimack River in Hillsborough County. Just 45 minutes from Boston, the city offers visitors an array of accommodations and dining, as well as activities that the whole family can enjoy.

Set for its annual running through the historic downtown mill district here in the largest city in the Granite State, the Manchester City Marathon, Half Marathon & Relay takes runners on an out-and-back loop course that features ample views of the city’s most scenic areas, including the banks of the Merrimack River and areas like Livingston Park and Derryfield Park.
