Running alongside Echo Lake, the former Old Man viewing sight, Cannon Mountain, Profile Lake, Boise Rock, Lafayette Campground, the Basin, the Flume, and the Pemigewasset River, this half marathon provides spectacular views of The Notch from start to finish. Take in autumn's remaining days of beauty that only New England's foliage season has to offer.
