About this run

The Novemberfest Race is a festive 4-mile race through beautiful Mine Falls Park followed by a post-race party and raffle held at Martha's Exchange Restaurant & Brewery.  Race day registration and number pick-up is held at Martha’s Exchange at 185 Main St. in Nashua from 9:30am until 11:00am on Sunday 11/22/2026. The race starts promptly at 11:33 am. The start finish area is near the Pine Street Extension Entrance into Mine Falls Park about 200 yards west of the Millyard Smokestack.   All entrants are eligible for our Children's Home raffle where you are likely to win a prize of significant value. Raffle prizes include (but aren't limited to!) gift certificates to local restaurants, accessories from Tulley BMW, a mystery door prize, and much more. You must be present to win. New this year, you can purchase a Novemberfest t-shirt for $20 each.  All profits go directly to Nashua Children's Home.   When you purchase your first draft beer, Martha's Exchange will donate the cash payment to the Nashua Children's Home.  The bartender will then give you a ticket for a free beer. You receive 2 draft beers for a small cash donation to the Nashua Children’s Home.   Please don't forget to tip your bartender and waitress. Novemberfest is hosted by the Gate City Striders with all the proceeds benefiting The Nashua Children’s Home. Keep up with information and announcements by following Novemberfest's Facebook page.
