A 15ish mile lollipop course  with ~4500ft of gain starting and finishing from Scott Road in Tamworth, NH.  Runners will start in a field and then encounter rolling single track to make their way to the Hammond Trail. At the Liberty Trail junction you will lose all of your elevation and end up at the trailhead where awesome volunteers will be waiting for you at the fully stocked aid station.

You will then enter on the Forest Service trailhead where you will run on rolling single track to the Brook trail and then make an arduous loop up and over the 3478 ft summit of Mt Chocorua on trails filled with rocks, roots, boulders, steep ledges and even a handful of rivers and brooks filled with frigid mountain water!

After descending off the mountain you’ll then make your way back to finish line where the party is waiting for you!  In the large field at the finish line.

Mountain weather is subject to extreme changes and a large portion of the course over the mountain is fully exposed to the elements. Be responsible.  You will be disqualified if you do not carry the mandatory gear listed below.

Gear list:

• 1 liter of fluids
• 400 calories of food
• Windbreaker/rain shell
• Space blanket or emergency foil blanket

Crew
Crew & spectators can hang out at the start/finish line but there are no crew accessible locations on course.

Pacers
Pacers are not permitted.

This is a difficult race. There is no time cutoff. But, everyone should ideally be finished by 5pm. So, the race staff needs to know that all entrants have the trail running experience to complete the loop safely and in a reasonable amount of time.

Therefore, we ask that you please have completed a hilly and moderately technical trail race of AT LEAST 10 miles OR  have sufficient experience in the mountains before signing up.
