The Alton Old Home Week 5K Road Race costs $20 to $25 to enter and takes place on August 8, 2026, in Alton, New Hampshire. Despite its name, the event actually features a 1-mile distance rather than a full 5K, making it accessible for runners looking for a shorter, fast effort. The race starts at 9:00 AM from 58 Mt Major Highway. This event is part of Alton's Old Home Week celebration, so you'll be running as part of a broader community festival. The modest entry fee and early morning start time make this a straightforward local race option for endurance athletes passing through the area or looking to add a quick summer race to their schedule.
