About the Manchester City Marathon

Millennium Running stages this late-season New England marathon in Manchester, New Hampshire. The location distinguishes it from the adidas Manchester Marathon in England.

Course

The road marathon moves between central Manchester, residential sections and the riverside corridor. Urban elevation changes and repeated turns reward controlled pacing rather than an overly fast downtown start.

Race-day weather

November in southern New Hampshire can be cold, windy and wet, with frost or early snow possible. A mild autumn day can also occur, making adaptable layers important.
