The Webb Forest Wander 2026

Thank you for considering the Wilmot Learning Place’s 2nd annual 5k race taking place in the Webb Forest trail system. We are working together to design a lovely course that will be truly enjoyable to all nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts. 

Wilmot Learning Place is small nonprofit preschool that nurtures each child’s love for both learning and community by creating an environment rich with creativity, independence, kindness and discovery. This schoolhouse is located in Wilmot, New Hampshire and has been around since 1982.
 

The race will start at 9 am just past the entrance to Webb Forest. The course will be marked with signs.  Water stations will be placed in various locations along the trail. The course will finish in the same place where it began. There will be recognition/awards following the last participant crossing the finish line. The race will be timed for those interested in keeping track of their personal best. We also want to stress that this is intended to be a family friendly race. 

Reistration is 30$ for participants ages 12 and up. (Kids under 12 race for FREE). 

Webb Forest is a lovely nature preserve that is a true gift to all who roam in it. New London Conservation Commission has done a wonderful job to maintain and care for this property. There are several landowners that have allowed the public to access this beautiful space. We kindly ask that as we wander through the woods to be respectful to this land so that it may be used for many generations to come. 

Parking across the street from the trailhead. Spring Ledge Farm has graciously agreed to the use of their strawberry fields as overflow parking.
