The Applefest Half Marathon in Hollis, New Hampshire, hosted by the Gate City Striders, provides more awards and rewards than any other half marathon.
The course travels a beautiful, scenic, rural New England course in peak foliage season. This run is beautiful; it is rewarding, it is Applefest - recently named the 2008 Race of the Year by New England Runner Magazine.
Many run for the challenging course, many run for the beauty of the course. Many run just for the post-race food—especially the famous apple crisp or the beautiful long-sleeve T's. And again this year, there is a relay—a relay gets more popular every year.
