Powisset Farm Trail Run - Fall
The Powisset Farm Trail Run - Fall is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Powisset Farm in Dover, MA. It is part of the Barn to Run Trail Race Series and uses trails on farm property and in neighboring Noanet Woodlands.
Distances offered:
- 8.6 miles
- 5.6 miles
- 3.1 miles
- 1.5 miles
All courses begin with a 1.5 mile Meadow Loop, a flat grassy trail on farm property, before entering Noanet Woodlands. Woodland surfaces include crushed pine needles, loose gravel, exposed roots and dirt with sections of flat trail and rolling hills. There is a short, steep and more technical ascent and descent of Noanet Peak that provides a view of the Boston skyline; the 8.6 mile race includes two loops of the Noanet trails without a second ascent of Noanet Peak. The 3.1 mile course contains a roughly 0.5 mile technical stretch with a short steep-ish downhill past the two mile mark.
There will be one aid station in Noanet Woods offering water. This is a cupless race; participants must provide their own hydration carrier. A limited number of speedcups and hydration belts may be available for purchase at the event.
Registered runners may receive event apparel or swag: runners in the 8.6, 5.6 and 3.1 mile races who register by October 11, 2026 are guaranteed a soft cotton gender-specific t-shirt; 1.5 mile participants receive other Barn to Run swag. All runners receive post-race food and drink and a chance at sponsor giveaways.
Family activities at the farm include a barn yard with animals, a small play area and free pumpkin painting for children under 15 (first 25). Awards are given to the three fastest men and women in each race. Time limits: the 1.5 mile must be completed in 25 minutes and the 8.6 mile in 2 hours 15 minutes; 3.1 and 5.6 mile runners must finish before the final 8.6 mile participant.
