Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

Elevation rises and falls by 300-400 feet across the whole of course.

Runners pass covered bridges bearing names like Thompson, Carlton, and Cresson, most of which predate the Civil War —

scenery that retains the old character of New England.
