Wapack Trail
Registration opens today for the Wapack and Back Trail Races along New England’s Wapack Trail.
The races consist of a 50-mile ultra marathon and an end-to-end trail race run on the 21.5-mile Wapack Trail. Leading from Mt. Watatic in Massachusetts to North Pack Monadnock in Greenfield, New Hampshire, the rocky ledges of this technical trail (with roughly 4,600 feet of elevation gain) afford views of the Boston skyline to the east, Berkshire and Green Mountains to the west and White Mountains to the north.
Ultrarunners who complete the 43-mile out and back section will be receive a finisher’s medal and be listed in the results. Four aid stations (which ultrarunners pass twice) will provide water, electrolyte drink, sugary and salty snacks. Post-race refreshments will be provided.
