About the race
Presented by Pierce Hall Community Center and Ridgeline Outdoor Collective, the Rochester 4th of July 5k Trail Run/Walk starts and finishes at River Brook Park in Rochester, VT. The course is well marked and follows a mix of single track and connector trails.
From the start participants cross the bridge behind the fire station to River Brook Drive, then turn right onto Chantrea Field single track. The route continues up to the intersection of Chantrea Hill and VCR Connector trails, climbs to VCR Connector, and turns right onto Boulder Dash, descending to Creamery Run. The course then turns right onto Creamery Run, heads south, and crosses Beans Bridge Road onto Chantrea Hill trail for a short upshill. At the intersection with Chantrea Field the route backtracks down to River Brook Drive and returns to the finish at River Brook Park.
Results are listed for recent years, including 2024 through 2026. The event is described as a community partnership tied to Rochester's Fourth of July activities and uses local trails and road crossings as part of the mapped course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
