Lace up your patriotic running shoes for the annual Red White and Blue 6.2 and 5K, set to take place on July 4, 2026, in scenic Lebanon, NH. This beloved Independence Day tradition offers both a 10K (6.2-mile) and a 5K option, welcoming runners of all abilities to celebrate the holiday with an exhilarating race. The course, starting on North Park Street, is renowned for being flat and fast, guiding participants along the picturesque Northern Rail Trail and Class VI Mill Road. These beautiful trails wind alongside the Mascoma River, featuring hardpack or dirt footing, providing a truly scenic and enjoyable running experience.

Runners consistently appreciate the perfectly picturesque scenery that defines this event, making it a memorable start to any Fourth of July celebration. The race kicks off promptly at 9:00 am in front of Lebanon City Hall, with convenient bib pick-up available inside City Hall/Lebanon Opera House starting at 8:00 am. Ample parking is accessible behind City Hall, around the Green, and on surrounding streets. Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 82F and lows around 57F, with a roughly 19% chance of precipitation, creating a classic New England summer racing atmosphere.

The Red White and Blue 6.2 and 5K is more than just a race; it's a community event fostering active lifestyles, proudly organized by the Lebanon Recreation and Parks Department. Fun, modest awards are presented to overall male, female, non-binary, and top three age category finishers. The event also demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity by offering scholarship information, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in this cherished Independence Day run.
