Join us for the inaugural Ottauquechee River Trail Firecracker 5K on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Part of Woodstock’s 250th Celebration honoring the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Firecracker 5K also will raise funds to support the ongoing maintenance of the Ottauquechee River Trail. The Firecracker 5K is family-friendly, and the route is mostly flat, easy to walk or run, and surrounded by lots of great nature! The Walk/Run will start at 9AM at the ORT kiosk at 0 Maxham Meadow Way and follow the Ottauquechee River as it runs along beautiful hay fields, a vernal pool, and Woodstock’s 150-year-old rail bed. Sign up early! Registration is limited.
