Registration is now open for the Big Lake Half Marathon which will be held on May 10, 2014 in Alton, New Hampshire.

This half-marathon has runners follow a point-to point loop course that starts on Letter S Road in Alton and finishes in Alton Bay in front of Shibley’s at the Pier.  Along the way runners are treated to spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The course then winds through pine-covered forest along the lake with quaint cottages and quiet roads. Once back on the main road it is only a few more miles of gently rolling hills. Finish at Shibley’s and enjoy a Smuttynose beer, some Jordan’s Ice Cream, Pizza and more while you relax and enjoy the post-race entertainment.

The race comes complete with seven Aid Stations on the course and runners receive a tech tee-shirt as a nice race amenity. Having run in this area before, I can assure you that this is one race you are not going to want to miss. The scenery of the Lakes region is simply remarkable and the views are some of the finest in the region.
