Run Your Buns Off 4.2 Miler : Bristol, NH
Run Your Buns Off is a four-point-two mile race and walk held in Bristol, New Hampshire, with the start and finish located near the shore of Newfound Lake at 1777 Lake Street. The 2026 edition marks the event's 17th anniversary.
The event uses professional chip timing and includes a large raffle and participant gifts. Finish-line refreshments include sticky buns described as one of New Hampshire's best. The organizer does not offer same-day registration.
The event supports local causes and has returned more than $146,000 to the community since its inception. The 2026 community beneficiary is the NH Food Bank; the organizer and the NH Food Bank plan a community mobile food drive in Bristol in February 2027 as part of ongoing fundraising efforts.
Participants can expect a community-focused event with timed results, event merchandise or gifts for all participants, and post-race food and raffle activities. The location on the shore of Newfound Lake frames the course and local community involvement is an explicit part of the event's purpose.
