Trot In The Trees 2026:
Registration is Now Open!! The Oyster River Youth Association, Durham Parks & Recreation and Madbury Recreation Commission have teamed up again for the 6th Trot in the Trees 5K Trail Race and 1 mile Fun Run. The race will be held on Sunday Oct.4th, 2026 at 10:00 A.M. at Tibbetts Field in Madbury, NH. The trail will wind through local trails surrounding Tibbetts Field, including a 2-mile loop through Powder Major Forest, giving participants a great fall experience. Runners will have to negotiate natural terrain, roots, mud, plenty of fall leaves and the “hay-bale hurdle” to finish the race! The 1-mile Fun Run course will test our younger participants giving them a real trail running experience.
Here For The Community:
In light of the recent Long Family tragedy, we will be donating a portion of this year’s race proceeds to the remaining Long family member through the GoFundMe page that has been established by the Friends of The Long Family and supported by the Lee Fire Department's collection efforts and many others.
Register for the Trot:
You can pre-register for the race or register in-person between 9:00-9:45am the morning of the race to participate. Race shirts will be given to our first 75 5K registrants. We look forward to seeing you on the course!!
Thank you!
