Manchester 2 Monadnock Ultramarathon
The Manchester 2 Monadnock Ultramarathon is a challenging 55-mile point-to-point race held in southern New Hampshire, starting in Manchester and finishing at Mount Monadnock State Park. The course features a mix of terrain: 60% roads, 20% dirt roads, and 20% trails, including a final ascent via the Pumpelly Trail to the summit of Mount Monadnock, followed by a descent to the finish. Runners face over 6,000 feet of elevation gain across rolling hills and varied landscapes through several towns.
The race offers five aid stations approximately every 10 miles and requires participants to navigate using a GPX file, as course markings are minimal. The event is capped at 125 runners, emphasizing endurance and self-navigation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
