Race Info
The Cheap Marathon Half Marathon runs a single out-and-back loop on the paved Windham & Derry Rail Trail, starting and finishing at Medicus Healthcare Solutions in Windham, NH. Runners begin in a time-trial format, released in pairs every 14 seconds and seeded by submitted pace rather than in mass waves. The course is flat, with roughly 203 feet of total published elevation gain, and shares its race day and USATF certification with the full marathon.
