FEAR Trail Fest 2026

FEAR Trail Fest 2026 is a trail running event scheduled for November 2026 in Morristown, New Jersey, at Lewis Morris Park. The event features a single 5 mile lollipop loop course. Entry fee for the listed event is $50 and registration opens May 31, 2026. Registration is limited to 120 runners.

Course, logistics and extras

The course is run mostly on the Yellow Trail with an initial and final short section on the Patriots Path. The route includes single-track sections and a mix of rocks, roots, and climbs, with roughly 600 feet of elevation gain. Hikers are welcome and a generous 2 hour 30 minute time limit is in place. Organizers offer free course preview runs on October 12, October 26, and November 16; participants meet at the park picnic shelter for these previews.

The event is organized with sustainability measures: it is cupless, with reusable cups provided by Hydrapak, and race bibs are made from hemp rather than PVC. Prize and raffle items listed include prize packages for the top two male and female finishers, three pairs of shoes, six pairs of socks, and three race belts.
