About
FEAR Trail Fest takes place in Morristown, New Jersey, on November 22, 2026. The event features a single 5-mile trail race (about 8 km) starting at 9:00 AM.
Five miles on trails is a great middle distance: long enough to feel like a real race, short enough to fit a few weeks of preparation. If you are used to road running, plan on a slower pace than your road 5-mile time, and get a few runs in on trails or uneven ground beforehand to get used to the footing. It works well as a fall fitness check for trail runners and as a first off-road race for road runners looking for something different before the holidays. Trail shoes are worth considering if the ground is soft, and a short warm-up jog will help on a cool late-November morning.
