Donut Dash - NH Sneaker Brigade

Donut Dash - NH Sneaker Brigade is run in Claremont, New Hampshire, on October 31, 2026, over 5K. Walkers set off first at 9:00 a.m. and runners follow at 9:15 a.m., a staggered start that keeps the road clear for both groups without splitting the event in two.

Separate waves are worth taking advantage of: enter the one that matches how you actually intend to cover the distance rather than the one that sounds more impressive. Runners get a cleaner road and a truer time, walkers get a head start and finish among company. Late October in the Connecticut River valley can be cold at 9:00 a.m., so plan a longer warm-up than usual and keep a dry layer waiting at the finish.
