    About 5k races

    A 5k is the shortest of the common running event distances, consisting of 3.1 miles (5 kilometers). These events can either be competitive or social, depending on the particular one you are looking into. They are the most popular of road running events because of their relatively short distance which allows not only the seasoned runners to run, but novice runners, joggers and new-comers as well.

    How did we choose the best 5k races in New Hampshire? 

    We checked what events runners looked for the most and we compared statistics on how many runners held interest in any given event. Feedback left by runners who participated in the course was also considered. Other factors included how long the course has been around, the bling and medals, what runners thought of them and how scenic the course is.

    What are the best 5Ks in Manchester?

    There are many to choose from here as the Manchester Area is host to many 5k races throughout its many communities. Some of these are charity events for fundraising, some fun runs and others racing events but it all comes down to the runners.  Some of the notable 5k running events include the Mardi Gras 5k and the Hula Hustle 5k.

    What are the best trail 5k races in New Hampshire?

    There are some great 5k trail races on the beautiful trails throughout New Hampshire.  The Exeter Day Trail Races takes you through some challenging, but runnable trails in Exeter.  The RunWalk for Mental Health 5k and the 5K Cross Country both take place on cross country courses.  Or consider signing up for one (or all) of the Salomon Spring Trail Series races that take place at the popular Great Glen Trails!

These events can either be competitive or more for fun, depending on the particular one you are looking into. They are twice the distance of the 5k and still  relatively short in distance. Less runners tend to participate then the 5k, but these events still get a lot of not only seasoned runners, but novice runners and joggers in attendance.
