Hollis Fast 5K

Course: 

New England's only downhill 5K race. The course drops 224 feet from start to finish. This USATF certified 5K course begins at the Hollis Brookline Middle School in Hollis, New Hampshire. The gradual downhill course travels through beautiful apple orchards, corn fields and vegetable farms, finishing at the junction of Depot Rd. and Rt. 111. The course lends itself to people running a personal best time and for first time racers represents a very runner friendly course. Running Times Magazine listed this route as one of the top three fastest race courses in the USA. The Wall Street Journal posted an article about this unique race. New England Runner magazine named this race as their Race of the Year for 2018.

Route: The race will start at the Hollis-Brookline Middle School north entrance road. The course will continue across Main Street (NH 122) into Monument Square, before descending south on Depot Road for 3 miles before ending at Morin's Landscaping parking lot. [Garmin]

Team Competition and Individual Rewards: 

There will be awards for top finishers in both male and female racers in multiple age groups. The top non-binary finisher will also receive an award. These will all be distributed immediately following the race at Alpine Grove. No awards will be mailed. Unclaimed awards can be collected at Fleet Feet Sports (4 Coliseum Ave, Nashua, NH: Google Maps) for one week (through Saturday, June 21). 

There will also be a non-timed team competition. This award of $150.00 will be given to the team/group that has the most members sign up for the race. This is not an award for the fastest team, but rather the largest. To join a team, simply select your team at registration. If your team has not yet been created, select "Create New Group/Team" and make a new team name. Your team must be declared prior to race day.
