The New Hampshire Marathon has been described as one of the most beautiful races in New England. The course moves around Newfound Lake during our most spectacular season, peak foliage. Races include a full marathon, half marathon, 10K and kids race and new for 2021 we also have a virtual race option. First held in 1993 as a single race event, the N.H. Marathon has been New Hampshire’s best-kept secret for 27 years! This year the NH Marathon is being run on Oct. 2. The mission of the NH Marathon is to promote a world class running event and to support area child-centered organizations. Over the years, donors’ fees, race entry fees, and funds from related events have contributed over $275,000 to three local organizations: the Tapply-Thompson Community Center, Circle Program, and Camp Mayhew. These groups provide important support to area youth through year-round programs touching and enriching the lives of over 500 children a year. This would not be possible without the support of community partners and businesses. A special thanks goes to our title sponsor, Hannaford Supermarket in Bristol, who generously donated $4,000. Registration for the NH Marathon, half marathon, 10k, kids’ run, and virtual race is now open. Access nhmarathon.com to complete the registration form. Not a runner but want to help the cause? Please use the registration link to sign up to be a volunteer. Jobs include helping with registration, parking cars, directing traffic, manning water stops along the route and assisting at the finish line. Many of these positions require only a few hours on the morning of race day. You can also contact race headquarters at race@nhmarathon.com or 603-744-2713.
When there’s space for her imagination to grow, there’s no stopping where she’ll go. As a Girl Scout, your girl will dream big, belong to a sisterhood, and explore her world through hands-on adventures. With the guidance and support of caring adult volunteers by her side, she’ll grow, discover, imagine, and create. Join us at a Badge Blast on Oct. 3. A Brownie Badge Blast runs from 9 to 11:30 a.m., where you will not just discover what Girl Scouting is all about, your second- or third-grader will participate in Girl Scout badge activities for the Animals, Citizen, Eco-Friend, Manners, and Mechanical Engineer badges. That’s followed by a Junior Badge Blast from 12:30 to 3 p.m., where fourth- and fifth-graders will earn requirements for the Inside Government, Gardener, Eco Camper, Girl Scout Ways, and Mechanical Engineering badges. All girls will leave with a list of her completed activities to continue earning those badges over the coming Girl Scout year. Register by Sept. 16 to ensure your spot! Location in Portsmouth will be revealed with registration. Cost is $10 for Girl Scout members, and $15 for nonmembers ready to see what Girl Scouting is like.
