Event
Details
Run along a course that race officials describe as "moderately
challenging" through the hills and country roads here in the Upper
Connecticut River Valley in westernmost New Hampshire, the CHaD Half
Marathon, Relay & 1-Mile Cam's Course Fun Run features an
out-and-back course for the 13.1-mile race that starts and finishes
near the campus of Dartmouth College, and serves as a fundraiser for
the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD).
Known for its plentiful downhill stretches, the race offers a rare late
afternoon starting time -- 3:45 PM -- and ample scenic views of this
iconic college town's beautiful campus, including
the Dartmouth College Green, the Hanover Center, and the Connecticut
River. After a quick loop around Hanover, the race takes runners across
the river over into Norwich, Vermont, along Beaver Meadow Road, Main
Street and then along River Road, right alongside the banks of the
river.
Open to both runners and walkers (who will take part in the first leg
of the half marathon), the race then crosses back over the Connecticut
River and heads back into Hanover, along Wheelock Road toward Balch
Hill. The course then turns on Reservoir Road and then again onto Lynne
Road, for a stretch that takes the field through the tree-lined
fairways of the Hanover Country Club, on the way toward the finish back
at the Dartmouth Green.
Parking for all runners is provided at the Dartmouth Medical School
campus, and for those who
don’t want to run the full 13.1 miles by themselves, a
three-segment relay race is also available for 3-person teams.
