Cochecho Challenge Half Marathon (2024)

The Cochecho Challenge Half Marathon is a fundraising effort for the First Parish Church, Congregational, UCC in Dover, New Hampshire. Proceeds of this event help First Parish Church to fund community charitable activities, such as End 68 Hours of Hunger, Dover Food Pantry, Friendly Kitchen, Community Service Desk, Community Action Partnership, the Warming Center and others.

This is your opportunity to experience Dover’s only Half Marathon road race, the Cochecho Challenge. This challenging, yet accessible, USATF sanctioned Half Marathon course begins at the historic First Parish Church in the heart of downtown Dover, NH. After leaving downtown, the course winds through beautiful, rural neighborhoods, crosses over the majestic Cochecho River and then returns to the downtown area for the final push to the finish line at the church. This is Seacoast, NH running at its finest.

Registration Fee:
Early Bird (until April 30): $79
Regular (May 1 - Aug 29): $89
Day of registration: $94

Notice: The Cochecho Challenge Half Marathon is a bonus race that is not included in the Dover Race Series standings, is not a qualifying event for the DRS requirements (i.e. one of six races for the jacket), nor is it an eligible race for the DRS Season Pass auto registration. We encourage all DRS runners to support and participate in Dover's only half marathon.
