Mid-State Health Center, in partnership with the Bristol Rotary Club and New Hampshire Marathon, is the proud sponsor of the Kids’ Marathon. This Kids’ Marathon will be a FREE event offered to children as part of the New Hampshire Marathon on Saturday, October 1st to promote physical activity among youth. 

HOW IT WORKS: All children grades K – 8 are eligible to participate in the Kids’ Marathon. The goal is for each registered participant to complete 25.2 miles of running/walking/activity PRIOR to the Kids’ Marathon, and complete the final mile of their “marathon” at the Kids’ Marathon in Bristol on race day.

Race Day is Saturday, October 1, 2022 along with the NH Marathon.  The Kid’s Race check-in will begin at 8:00 am at Kelley Park in Bristol and the race begins just after 9:00 am. Kids will be bussed to the start of the race. Parents/Guardians are asked to please stay onsite while their children complete the race.

Race Start is at the Mill Stream Parking Area by the Multi-Use Path in Bristol, NH across from Old Mill Properties.  There will be a celebration immediately following at Kelley Park to recognize this INCREDIBLE achievement for all children who complete the Mid-State Kids’ Marathon.

A special marathon medal will be given to each child who brings their COMPLETED training log on Race Day! To pre-register for the Free Kids’ Marathon online and print the mileage log, visit nhmarathon.com or stop by the Tapply-Thompson Community Center for a registration packet.  If you would like more information, please contact the NH Marathon: race@nhmarathon.com or call 744-2713. 

Mid-State Health Center wishes all the runners, and particularly the youth participants, the very best success in meeting their health and fitness goals as they prepare to compete in the New Hampshire Marathon and Kids’ Marathon this October.  Mid-State staff will be on hand to volunteer and assist at the Kids’ Marathon and look forward to cheering on the kids as they cross the finish line!
