All Out Trail Run

Embark on a challenging and rewarding adventure at the All Out Trail Run, set for Saturday, August 15, 2026, in the picturesque Moody Park of Claremont, NH. This approximately 5-mile trail race is a beloved fixture of the Western NH Trail Running Series, celebrated for its unique course that promises varying terrains and a true test for runners of all skill levels. Runners will begin their journey at the picnic area at the top of Moody Park, quickly plunging into narrow, winding singletrack trails before transitioning to a logging road and then back to technical singletrack. The course is 95% unpaved, with a starting elevation of 551 feet and a high point of 600 feet, offering a genuine trail experience.

Prepare for an engaging run that includes sections with wet areas known to challenge footwear, and brace yourself for the "Gravity Cavity," a locally famous segment featuring a very steep drop followed by an equally steep climb, demanding strong quadriceps. The final mile or so culminates in a gradual uphill stretch back to the start. Typical race day conditions in mid-August include highs around 79°F and lows around 55°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal summer trail running weather. All proceeds from this well-managed event benefit the Claremont Parks and Recreation Department, contributing to the local community.

The All Out Trail Run stands out not only for its challenging course but also for its festive atmosphere, which includes North Country Smokehouse products awarded as prizes to top finishers in each age category. While the course is well-marked, runners should note there are no water stops provided, so bringing your own hydration is essential. Parking will be conveniently available at the Grace River Church lot on Maple Avenue, ensuring a smooth start to your race day. Join this growing series for an inspiring blend of competition, natural beauty, and camaraderie.
