Center Harbor Footrace 2026
The Center Harbor Footrace takes place on July 4, 2026 in Center Harbor, New Hampshire, at 36 Main Street near Lake Winnipesaukee. This event is the 46th annual running and includes multiple races for different ages.
Races include:
- Baby Crawl
- Kids Races for ages up to 12
- 1.776 Mile adult race
- 5 Mile adult race
Granite State Racing Services provides automatic timing and will make race results available on participants' phones shortly after finishing. Adult races use chip bibs that are coded to each runner and to each race; bibs must be worn on the front of the chest and should not be switched between runners. Awards for adult races are presented at the bandstand after the final runner has finished.
Registration is required online for both children and adults. Children's races are free but require online registration. To have a name printed on a T-shirt and to guarantee a T-shirt at pre-registration, registrations must be completed by May 29. After pre-registration, additional T-shirts are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration fees listed by the organizer include an early registration fee, a later fee, and a higher race day fee. All registrations and packet pick-up occur at the Center Harbor Town Hall. A signed waiver is mandatory for all participants.
The event coincides with town activities such as a parade, a concert, and fireworks, and is supported by several local businesses and sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
