Get ready for a scenic 5K celebration along the Ottauquechee River Trail in Woodstock on July 4th, 2026—a fun, untimed event that doubles as a fundraiser for trail maintenance while honoring the town's 250th anniversary. The mostly flat, family-friendly route winds through beautiful natural areas including hay fields, a vernal pool, and a historic 150-year-old rail bed, starting at 9AM from Maxham Meadow Way. Since parking is limited, consider carpooling, biking, or walking to the event, and stick around afterward for refreshments!
