Millennium Running knows how to put on a great race! In this final race of the Millennium 26.2 Series they take great advantage of the beautiful New England fall scenery!

The race is net downhill, but don't let that fool you. There are some definite hills. Starting at the Louden Speedway, it finishes in beautiful downtown Concord right near the state house.

Swag is a nice fleece jacket. Last year's was black, this year's is grey. In addition the finisher's medals are fun (sponsored by Traveller's beer) and the race beer tickets work at most of the downtown restaurants.

If you can spot a car at each end that makes it easier (or get dropped off at the start). If not, the shuttles from downtown aren't bad and they're warm if the morning is chilly!

I definitely recommend this race. I plan to run every year!
