2026 Ultra 1k Routes

Anne Marie's Ultra 1k - Knights Hill Nature Park
Enjoy the peacefulness of Knights Hill Nature Park as you stroll through the winding trails and get close to nature! As with some of our other routes, this route tours you through one small section of the park, feel free to extend your Ultra 1k and explore the other trails as well! Don't forget to sign the guestbook for the Park. Check out Anne Marie's course map here!

Brandy’s Ultra 1k – Corbin Bridge 1k, Newport
Brandy's route is not necessarily a certified trail, however, it takes you to the beautiful and iconic Corbin Bridge in North Newport! Start at the Haselvlat's Park and walk to Corbin Bridge where you will enjoy all the beauty that surrounds it. The Sugar River runs beneath the covered bridge and is adjacent with Parlin Field, where you can take a picnic with you and maybe watch a plane land. There are only 60 covered bridges in New Hampshire and Newport is lucky enough to have three! Originally built in the 1840s, the bridge was sadly burned and rebuilt once again in 1994. If you want to go even further than a 1k, continue your walk through North Newport where there are a lot of old homes to see, including the old "Ruger home" just past the covered bridge on the right. Check out Brandy's Course Map here.

Lori's Route: Cocoa's Path - New London
This is a gentle .64 mile walk along the Great Brook trail (a.k.a. Cocoa's Path) near Pleasant Lake. It is an easy hike along a well marked wooded trail. To complete the 1K you only need to walk to Grampa's Bath. However, if you want a bit more of a challenge you can contineue along Cocoa's path and merge right onto the Bunker Loop and then make your way to the Wolf Tree Trail where you'll take a right to return back to the parking lot. (Total route with Bunker Look & Wolf Tree 1.7 miles). Take a look at Lori's Course Map Here.
