Gala Celebration at Hampton Beach State Park: June 1-2
The Bear Brook Marathon & Ultra at Bear Brook State Park: July 21
The Bear Brook Marathon & Ultra presented by Acidotic Racing is a scenic and challenging 26.7 mile single loop trail race at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, NH. Runners will circumnavigate the entire 10,000 acre park on a 95% singletrack and doubletrack with only 1/3 mile of pavement. There will be many fast “runnable” flowy singletrack sections combined with challenging climbs and rocky descents. Expect there will be four very well stocked aid stations throughout the course. Although there will be multiple trails, turns, and junctions we will do our best to "overmark" the course. But with any trail race you must be aware of where you are on the course at all times. The marathon will consist of a single loop and the ultra will be two loops. For more information visit Acidotic Racing's Bear Brook Marathon/Ultra webpage.
Reach The Beach Relay (Cannon to Hampton Beach): September 14-15
 The Reach The Beach (RTB) Relay is the longest distance running relay race in the United States. The RTB Relay will take place in picturesque New Hampshire during the start of the New England foliage season. The relay will consist of (a maximum of ) 12 person teams that will rotate through 36 transition areas as they cover the approximate 200 mile distance of the race. This means that each relay team member will run 3 legs of varying lengths and difficulty and will cover an average total distance of ~16.6 miles. There will also be an Ultra Distance division that will have a team limit of 6 members. In this case, the average distance covered per Ultra Distance Team runner would be ~ 33 miles.
