Exeter Trail Races

Fort Rock

13 Newfields Road

Exeter, NEW HAMPSHIRE 03833

10 MILE and 4 MILE races!

All competitors will start at the same time in the same location. At a predetermined spot the 10 mile & 4 mile races will split with competitors going in different directions. This a very technical trail race.

There is arguably no better urban trail running and mountain biking network in the northeast than the Oaklands & Henderson-Swasey Town Forests. Located just minutes from downtown Exeter, NH these trails are better known as Fort Rock. If it's technical trail running you're looking for...search no further. This may be the most technical trail race anywhere in New England!

Registration: 8:30-9:30 AM

Race starts at 10:00 AM

Your race directors, Ri & Sarah, are none other than the defending North American Wife Carrying Champions. The proceeds of the event will help offset the cost of their trip to the World Championships in Finland this July. What's that...never heard of wife carrying? Ri & Sarah will give a demo and hold a "fun" race for all interested couples on race day.

Wife Carry Demonstration & "Fun" Race: 11:30 AM
