<p>The Cheap Marathon is a fantastic event for those seeking a simple, affordable race with excellent organization and a supportive atmosphere. It is perfect for local runners and those looking for a fast course without the need for extensive race swag or celebrations. The marathon takes place on a scenic paved rail trail in Derry, New Hampshire, offering a relatively flat course with minor inclines and declines, making it ideal for setting personal records or qualifying for the Boston Marathon. The race does not offer medals, but instead provides a humorous and unique ribbon as a finisher's award. Additionally, although there are only three aid stations along the route, which runners pass twice, it is recommended to bring extra water due to the distances between some of these stations.</p>
