Additional Information
In the late 1970s, the Maple Leaf attracted world-class athletes and crowds of over 1,300 runners. Manchester & the Mountains Regional Chamber of Commerce, Battenkill Valley Runners, Stratton Mountain, and the Manchester Lions Club are partnering together to revive this race to it's former glory, making Manchester the center of New England’s running interest every September. Any profits from the day’s events will go toward funding Manchester Lions’ charities in the Northshire.
The Maple Leaf will begin at the Manchester Parks and Recreation Center and snake its way along backcountry roads, over to route 7 and then back to the Recreation Center for the finish, a little over 13 miles. At the same time, there will be a 5-Kilometer run/walk for runners/walkers who aren’t up to the challenge of a half marathon. A celebration will be held with food and beverages, music and an awards ceremony immediately following the races. Special thanks to lead our sponsors: Prudential Stratton Properties and MVP Healthcare.
