NH Marathon

09/07/2026

It takes a community to put on a marathon — and we have a pretty remarkable one.

This week, we’re proud to recognize our 2026 Platinum Sponsors:

Delta Dental
First Student

Their generous support helps make the New Hampshire Marathon possible — from race-day logistics and the runner experience to the lasting impact this event has on young people throughout the Newfound region.

For more than three decades, runners have come to Bristol to experience one of New Hampshire's most beautiful races. Behind every one of those miles is a group of sponsors, volunteers and community members willing to step up and make it happen.

To Delta Dental and First Student — thank you for being an important part of the 2026 NH Marathon.

We’re grateful to have you running alongside us.

Every great race has a strong foundation. Ours starts right here at home.

As we count down to the 33rd Annual New Hampshire Marathon, we want to recognize the businesses and organizations whose support makes race weekend possible.

We couldn’t start anywhere but with our 2026 Title Sponsor, Jeremy Hiltz Excavating Inc.

The Hiltz team has been an incredible supporter of the New Hampshire Marathon and the Newfound community. Their generosity helps us welcome runners from near and far while continuing the real purpose behind this race — supporting local organizations that make a difference in the lives of young people.

The NH Marathon proudly benefits the Mayhew Program, Circle Program, and Tapply-Thompson Community Center.

To everyone at team Hiltz, thank you for continuing to go the distance for our race and our community.

In the 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲, the NH Half Marathon came in 2nd place—and the runners said it better than we ever could:

“Beautiful and hilly.”
“Great fall course.”
“Fun people, great experience.”

So yeah—
It’s got hills (the honest kind)
The scenery delivers
The community shows up
And it’s run the right way

You don’t need 10,000 runners to have a top-tier race.
You need a community, like Newfound.

26.2 miles. Legendary crowds. A scream tunnel. A course that doesn’t care how you feel.

Good luck to everyone running the 130th Boston Marathon—the oldest continuously run marathon in the world.

It’s races like this that inspire what we try to create at the NH Marathon…just with a course that might be a little tougher (we said what we said :-)).

Run strong out there.

Right on Hereford, left on Boylston.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again—this race doesn’t happen without great people behind it.

We’re incredibly grateful to Jeremy Hiltz Excavating, Inc. for returning as the Title Sponsor of the 33rd Annual NH Marathon. Their continued support helps make this event more than just a race—it makes it a force for good in our community.

Because of partners like Hiltz Excavating, every mile run helps support amazing organizations like the Circle Program, Mayhew Program, and TTCC—changing lives for local kids and families right here in the Newfound region.

Last year was our biggest yet. This year…we’re just getting started.
