Vulcan's Fury Trail Race

Vulcan's Fury Trail Race in Nottingham, New Hampshire offers two rugged courses—the Half Marathon and the 5 Miler—set on hiking trails through a once volcanic landscape at Pawtuck. The course is described as technical and scenic, featuring a massive boulder field, dense forest, single-track switchbacks, streams, bridges, and the notorious Devil’s Staircase climb. Runners navigate varied terrain with three aid stations providing water and supplies; safety cutoffs prompt rides back from later stages if time limits aren’t met.

The route showcases fall foliage and high-elevation viewpoints, making it a demanding test for seasoned trail runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
