The Hamsterwheel is a timed trail-running event in New Boston, New Hampshire, held in November on a marked 4-mile loop near the Hillsborough County Fairground.

The event has seen significant mileage achieved, such as Cody Cutler's 144 miles in the 30-hour race, completed after 36 out-and-back segments on the rail trail.
