Wanakee Wilderness 5K
The Wanakee Wilderness 5K is a trail race held at Wanakee, a 227 acre camp property in Meredith, New Hampshire, in the White Mountains and Lakes Region. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 14, 2027.
The course runs across hills and woodland valleys and includes sections through northern hardwoods and evergreen stands, granite rock features, and varied woodland paths. Notable course points include the Lemon Squeeze, Look Out Point with a scenic view, and a stretch along the Waterfront. A course map is provided for participants.
Proceeds from the race support the camp scholarship fund and ongoing improvements to the camp's facilities. The event also marks the end of the summer camp season and is scheduled alongside Wanakee's Homecoming activities. Family and friends may attend as spectators; a post-award Homecoming BBQ and additional camp activities are held the same day. BBQ ticket prices are listed at $15 for adults and $8 for children ages 6 to 12.
Registration for the race opens in late May or early June and registration materials are available in advance. Results and photos from past years are kept as records of previous events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
