BIG DAY RUN OFF

20 Glen Road

Gorham, NH half marathon

Registration closes: Thu, May 1 @ 11:59 PM ET

BIG DAY RUN OFF!

Thanks for signing up for the first ever BIG DAY RUN OFF! We think this will be a cool event that adds to the North Country outdoor adventure scene while supporting the local community & trail infrastructure.

Expect a grassroots effort & feel all around. The bang for your buck is in the woods on the Coös Trails Network, where years of effort have grown into a great trail system that attracts all types of muscle-powered user groups and year-round possibilities.

Proceeds aid the Coös Cycling Club's stewardship efforts on the Coös Trails Network.

COURSE INFO

The majority of the 13.1mi(ish) course is singletrack trails with a few exceptions:

0.1mi section of paved road (Church Street / Promenade Street) that connects the wood lot behind Big Day (start/finish) to the Coös Trails Network.

0.6mi section of gravel road (gated) about halfway in the race.

0.6mi section of woods road towards the end of the race. Primarily used in winter as a snowmobile trail.

This course will have a few shared intersections and short trail segments where the 'heading back' overlaps with the 'heading out'. These areas will be clearly marked to avoid confusion & mis-direction.

At any point along the course expect to cross paths with other trail users; mtn bikers, hikers/walkers, other runners, etc...

Starting Elevation: 800 ft

Elevation Loss: 1,297 ft
