BIG DAY RUN OFF is a trail half marathon held on Sunday, May 3, 2026 in Gorham, NH. The event starts and finishes in the parking lot of Big Day Brewing and covers roughly 13.1 miles of mostly singletrack trail.

The course includes short non-singletrack segments: a 0.1 mile paved road connector, a 0.6 mile gated gravel road, and a 0.6 mile woods road. Several shared intersections and short overlapping out-and-back segments will be clearly marked. Runners should expect to encounter other trail users such as mountain bikers, hikers, and walkers.

Course metrics: starting elevation 800 ft, elevation gain 1,508 ft, elevation loss 1,464 ft. Organizers have tentative plans for two aid stations located near mile 5 and mile 9.

On-site arrangements note ample parking at Big Day Brewing and access to the beer garden facilities and water. Water, coffee, and snacks will be available before and after the event. Bibs are available the morning of the event. Day-of registration is accepted if additional bib numbers remain and requires completing the event waiver. Proceeds support the Coös Cycling Club stewardship efforts on the Coös Trails Network.

Podium awards will be presented after sufficient finishers allow for podium placement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
