After a short stint in the ‘where is it now file’ Manchester’s Maple Leaf Half Marathon is back. Once an attraction for world-class athletes as a ‘tune-up’ for the New York Marathon, the Maple Leaf Half Marathon & 5K is being revived by the Manchester Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Battenkill Valley Runners, Stratton Mountain, and the Manchester Lion’s Club. Beginning at the Manchester Parks and Recreation Center, the race winds just over thirteen miles through backcountry roads and ends with noshings, awards, and live music. A family oriented and affordable event to look into for this fall where all proceeds go to support Manchester Lions Club funded charities. For dates, times and registration please visit the Maple Leaf Official site.
