Hanwell Hammering
Hanwell Hammering is a trail running event at Hanwell Recreation Park, Nature Park Drive, Hanwell, New Brunswick, Canada, held on May 1 and 2, 2026. The weekend includes a Friday evening 5 km event and multiple looped distances on Saturday.
Each loop is about 5 kilometres long with roughly 60 metres of elevation gain. The course uses rubberized sections, brand new single-track trails and double track trails. Saturday events will use chip timing.
