Vulcan's Fury Trail Race
Vulcan's Fury Trail Race is a rugged trail running event at Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham, New Hampshire, held on October 11, 2026. The event offers multiple course lengths and lists $7,500 in prize money for 2026. The event takes place during peak New Hampshire fall foliage.
The course travels over hiking trails with technical sections that require careful negotiation. Features include a massive boulder field, dense forest, single-track switchbacks, stream crossings, bridges, and a rocky slope known as the Devil's Staircase. The combination of distance, elevation, and terrain requires sustained physical effort and trail skills.
