Summary:

After landing on Runway 24 at Fairoaks Airport, the pilot was unable to stop the aircraft in the distance remaining. N374SR left the paved surface of the runway, went through the airfield boundary fence and crossed a public footpath before colliding with trees. The pilot was uninjured and able to extricate himself from the cockpit without assistance. The runway overrun likely resulted from the combination of a high engine idle speed, little or no headwind and continuing with a deep landing rather than going around.
