Course and logistics
The course is a looped route composed of rolling forest roads and single track, with about 50% technical single track on the Metacomet Trail and the remainder on double-track. Sections can be extremely rocky; the course includes a notable power line hill that will remain on the route. The 50K has a 9-hour cutoff. The race is cupless; participants must bring their own cup or handheld bottle. Chip timing will be used in 2026. A course map is available on AllTrails.
