Krampuslauf
Lyme, United States • 6 Dec 2025
Event overview
The Krampuslauf is held at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, NH (39 Grafton Turnpike Rd). The event offers the following race options:
- 5K
- 10K
- 9-hour timed event
Registration closes Wed, Dec 3.
Course and format
Races start at the base of the mountain at the ski lodge. The 5K uses Holt’s side of the mountain. The 10K is a loop that combines the Holt and Winslow 5K courses. The 9-hour event consists of repeated 10K loops; runners complete as many full 10K laps as they can within the 9-hour window.
Runners pass the lodge on the Winslow side; there is indoor access near the trail for drop bags. Drop areas are provided with no fixed space size specified.
Laps are recorded on a board in the pit area; runners mark time in and out. A lap only counts after crossing the finish line; the lodge door is about 100 yards from the finish. For placement in timed events, time is used as a tiebreaker when runners finish the same number of laps.
Awards and tracking
After completing the first 10K lap, each runner receives a 10K medal. Subsequent laps earn Race Mozey pins to add to the medal lanyard. After five laps (50K) the medal is upgraded to a 50K medal; pins continue to be awarded for additional laps. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
