Rooted Rose Run Club: Crown Hill : Equinox Edition

These trails demand focus and agility. You gotta pick ‘em up and put ‘em down. Slips, trips, and falls are just part of the game when you RUN WILD! Most of this section is single-track mountain bike trail, so there are plenty of twists, turns, and fun features to jump off. It’s the closest you’ll get to running in the White Mountains in Southern NH.
