Vulcan's Fury Trail Race 2026

The Vulcan's Fury Trail Race takes place in Pawtuckaway State Park, Nottingham, New Hampshire, on terrain associated with an ancient volcanic location. This is a demanding trail event featuring a half marathon, approximately 12-13 miles long, and a 5-mile option for those preferring a shorter distance. The race is set for a full Saturday, with a current prize purse of $7,500. The course emphasizes challenging trail running over smooth park paths, presenting runners with technical footing, boulders, stream crossings, and a rocky ascent. Its most notable feature is an extensive boulder field, aligning with the Vulcan theme and testing participants' patience, balance, and trail expertise over raw speed. Acidotic Racing organizes the event, and the availability of both long and short courses allows both seasoned trail runners and shorter-distance competitors to engage with the rugged Pawtuckaway landscape.
