What would be a better way to kick off your spring with a run or walk on one of the most beautiful country roads in New Hampshire . This half marathon course travels over a designated scenic road along the Great Bay Estuary offering water views of Great Bay and idyllic mill town Newmarket. Course is moderately challenging but the views are well worth it.
