About the Whitaker Woods 5k and One Miler! 6/5/2027
Whitaker Woods is a trail network right in North Conway, and this race runs through it on natural-surface paths with trees close on both sides. It is not a road race feel; the footing is soft and the surroundings are quiet. Both a short distance and a longer option are offered, plus a children's race, so the morning draws a wide spread of ages.
Bib pickup happens at the start area on race morning before the gun. Afterward, there are cinnamon rolls, bananas, coffee, and water at the finish. The race benefits a local foundation, and the post-race crowd tends to stick around for the awards.
