HASHATHON 6 Mile Trail Race

HASHATHON 6 Mile Trail Race is held in Matawan, New Jersey, on November 8, 2026. There is one distance on offer, a 6-mile trail race, roughly 9.7 kilometers, starting at 11 a.m. It is an odd number by road-racing standards, which is fitting for a trail event where the terrain shapes the day far more than the figure printed on the entry form.

Six miles off-road almost always runs slower than six miles on pavement, so pace yourself by effort rather than by watch. In the weeks beforehand, move one run a week onto soft or uneven ground and add a short set of hill repeats: that is what trains the ankles and the small stabilizing muscles trail racing tends to expose. A pair of shoes with real grip is worth having.
