Christine, I have made a mess of this page. I have created a new Events page and I eliminated all the past events. If someday you wish to reorganize the page and publish it, please be my guest. In the meantime, make sure it stays hidden.

MRGT TRIATHLON 2022
Cornfields - 6 Loudon Road, Concord, NH
September 11, 2022 - 1pm
The first triathlon hosted by the FMRGT in seven years was held successfully and was met with great enthusiasm by those who came out to try this fun, new event! It was held behind 6 Loudon Road in Concord, in an effort to showcase the next phase (Phase 2) of the MRGT, which will run along the Merrimack River through the cornfield.
Participants toughed out a 4K off-road bike ride, navigated a 3K trail run, and then hopped in their kayaks (or other human powered watercraft) for a final 2K paddle leg on the Merrimack.

Cornfields Clean Up, Concord, NH (Behind 6 Loudon Road)
Saturday, June 4th - 1pm
Along with the City of Concord, New Hampshire, we are organizing an afternoon of trail clean up in the cornfields behind 6 Loudon Road. This is a 0.65 mile long stretch that runs along the Merrimack, so for this one, we're looking for volunteers who may have a small trailer that could be used to haul trash bags, etc.
We ask that you bring gloves and garden carts to help carry loads. We'll have the trash bags!
Celebrate Trails Day - Terrill Park, Concord, NH
Saturday, April 23, 2022
Come take pride in your Concord greenway trail by joining us on "Trails Day"!
We'll be meeting at 10 am in Terrill Park to keep things clean and tidy. Bring your work gloves, loppers/ brush cutters and friends; We'll have the blue trash bags!
Terrill Park has turned into a truly beautiful spot. It's supposed to be relatively warm and dry on Saturday. Let's enjoy it together on the trail!
