Welcome to Spaulding Woods

Join us for the Spaulding Woods 50K trail race on Saturday, July 11th, in beautiful Northfield, NH.

The course is a technical 5.6-mile loop trail featuring rocks, roots, and footbridges. To complete the full 50K, runners will have ten hours to finish six laps, covering approximately 34 miles with 4,400 feet of cumulative elevation gain.
