Cider Hill Farm 5K Fall Run

Cider Hill Farm 5K Fall Run is held in Amesbury, Massachusetts, on November 7, 2026. Two events share a 10:00 a.m. start: the 5K over 3.1 miles, and a Donut Dash whose distance is not specified, so the morning offers both a straight running test and a lighter, novelty option on the same farm.

A farm setting in early November usually means mixed footing rather than pure pavement, so trail shoes or an old pair of road shoes are a reasonable choice if the ground is soft. The 5K itself needs no long preparation — a month of consistent running gets most people to the line — and the late-morning start is friendly if you are driving in. Warm up for 10 minutes beforehand; cold legs cost more over 3.1 miles than over any longer distance.
