RACE OF THE YEAR 2008

Why run Applefest?

WHAT MAKES APPLEFEST SUCH A GREAT EVENT?
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.

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.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER AMENITIES?

Disposable Chip timing by Granite State Race Services	Large mile markers Course monitors
Water stops every 2 miles	Fun Themed water stops Vote for your favorite
