Cutoff- times

Description

The 50K run begins in Newport NH at the Historic Corbin Covered Bridge (shuttle to start), and follows beautiful Oak street on the road before heading off on the rail trail for and out and back. The 10 Miles of Rail trail follows the Sugar River, revealing secret fly fishing spots, and traversing 2 of the remaining 7 Rail Trail covered bridges left in the United States (built in 1906 and 1907). The Half Marathon ends at Newport High School where you will pick up 9 miles of fantastic trails in the Newport Town Forest, where you will be climbing The Pinnacle (1362 ft) and Coit Mountain (1590 ft). These small mountains have excellent views but are more known for their fantastic snaking descents on pristine singletrack. You will traverse the Town Forest trails twice for a total of 18 Trail miles and 13.1 rail trail miles.

Event's current local time: 3:19 AM ET
