Lace up for an authentic trail experience at the Grills Trail Run, set to take place on October 24, 2026, in scenic Westerly, RI. Offering challenging 10-mile and 10K distances, this event promises a breathtaking tour through the natural beauty of Grills Preserve. Runners will traverse a captivating blend of approximately 80% single-track and 20% double-track trails, with the longer 10-mile course extending into the picturesque Grills Wildlife Sanctuary in Hopkinton, showcasing beautiful bridges and serene riverfront views. This race is a true immersion into nature, with 100% of the course on unpaved trails.

As a highlight of the WTAC Fall Race Series, the Grills Trail Run is known for its community atmosphere and commitment to an accessible, enjoyable experience for all trail enthusiasts. Both races kick off and conclude at the charming Grills Preserve. Typical race day conditions in late October offer crisp autumn air, with highs around 62F and lows around 45F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather. Due to local regulations and the timing of the event, all participants and volunteers are required to wear at least 200 square inches of orange during the race.

To maintain an intimate and focused trail experience, registration for this popular event is capped at 100 runners, with carpooling highly encouraged due to limited parking at Grills Preserve. This race emphasizes the joy of trail running and camaraderie over extensive frills, offering low entry fees, in-house timing, and unique, fun awards.
