Course & Travel Notes

The Hugs For Vets Trail 10kish takes place in Henniker, New Hampshire on November 1st, 2026, with an early 10:00 AM start time, so you'll want to arrive with plenty of daylight since sunrise isn't until 6:22 AM. Concord Municipal Airport is your closest flying option at just 14.2 miles away, making it a pretty convenient drive to the venue. November in New Hampshire means you should pack layers for typical highs around 47°F and lows near 28°F, and there's a decent chance of rain that time of year, so waterproof gear would be smart. The modest 459-foot elevation at the venue won't present any major challenges, but the cool fall temperatures and potential moisture underfoot are good things to keep in mind as you prepare.
