Ghost Train Trail Races

Brookline, United States • 18-19 Oct 2025

The Ghost Train Trail Races, held in Brookline, New Hampshire, are a series of trail running events along the historic Granite Town Rail Trail. This mostly flat, well-groomed course follows an old railroad bed used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, featuring a mix of dirt and about one mile of paved trail per 15-mile loop. The event offers multiple race options including a 30-hour ultramarathon, a 30-hour 7-person relay, a haunted night 30-mile race, a 15-mile race, and a 15-mile relay. Taking place in mid-October, runners enjoy vibrant fall foliage and a festive, Halloween-themed atmosphere. All proceeds support local trail conservation.
