Fitzwilliam to Troy Depot Day Cheshire Rail Trail Fun Run

Embark on a unique 5-mile journey through New Hampshire's scenic Monadnock Region at the Fitzwilliam to Troy Depot Day Cheshire Rail Trail Fun Run on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This engaging event starts at the historic Fitzwilliam Railroad Depot at 6 Church Street in Fitzwilliam and concludes at the beautifully restored Troy Depot on Depot Street in Troy, NH, which now serves as a museum. Runners will traverse a well-maintained 5-mile section of the Cheshire Rail Trail, offering a blend of natural beauty and historical significance.

The course itself presents a gentle challenge with a generally slight uphill grade as it heads north towards Troy, making for a satisfying effort for all participants. You'll enjoy varied terrain, including sections of gravel and dirt, all while being immersed in the picturesque scenery of wooded landscapes, natural rock formations, and views of bogs, marsh, and ponds along the way. Beyond the run, this event is a true community celebration, featuring food and festivities at both depot locations from 9 AM to noon, and even includes a Short Children's Loop Run at the Fitzwilliam Depot.

The Fitzwilliam to Troy Depot Day Fun Run is more than just a race; it's a fundraiser supporting the vital work of the Fitzwilliam and Troy Historical Societies, connecting participants to the rich local heritage of these former railroad towns. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant weather, with historical highs around 71°F and lows around 50°F, accompanied by only a 19% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all. Join fellow enthusiasts for a memorable run that blends fitness, history, and community spirit.
