SUMMARY:Reach the Beach Relay
DESCRIPTION:The Reach the Beach Relay is an iconic 204-mile team running event that traverses New Hampshire from the White Mountains to the Atlantic coast at Hampton Beach. \nCourse Highlights\nThe 204-mile course offers a spectacular tour of New Hampshire’s autumn beauty. Starting at the Lancaster Fairgrounds\, runners head into the heart of the White Mountains\, passing through scenic landmarks such as Bretton Woods and the dramatic Franconia Notch. The route transitions from challenging mountain climbs to rolling hills as it winds past the picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee and through charming New England villages. The terrain consists primarily of paved roads\, with significant elevation changes in the early stages. The journey culminates in a triumphant finish on the sandy shores of Hampton Beach State Park\, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. \nWhy Runners Love It\nAs the oldest distance relay on the East Coast\, Reach the Beach is celebrated for its deep community roots and legendary atmosphere. What makes it truly special is the local support; residents along the 200-mile route often set up unofficial aid stations\, offering snacks and cheers to passing runners. The race fosters incredible team camaraderie as members live in vans for over 36 hours\, tackling overnight legs under the stars. The mix of challenging mountain elevation and the scenic transition to the coast makes it a bucket-list achievement for runners seeking a unique New England adventure. \nRace Details\n\nLocation: Lancaster\, United States\nDistances: 204 Miles (Team Relay\, Ultra Relay\, Sprint Relay)\nNext Race Date: 2026-09-18\nStart Time: 06:00\n\nRace Weekend Tips\nLogistics are paramount for this 200-mile journey. Teams should arrive in the Lancaster area on Thursday evening to prepare for the Friday morning start. Given the variable New England weather\, pack layers for temperatures ranging from 78°F during the day to 60°F or lower at night. Coordination between Van 1 and Van 2 is critical at major exchanges. Accommodation near the start and finish lines should be booked months in advance\, as local hotels fill up quickly with the hundreds of participating teams. \nHistory & Charity\nFounded in 1999 by Mike Dionne and Rich (Mike and Rich)\, Reach the Beach was created to bring a premier long-distance relay experience to New England. Over the years\, it has grown into one of the most prestigious events of its kind\, eventually partnering with Ragnar Relay in 2015 to expand its reach. The event has a strong philanthropic focus\, supporting the New Hampshire State Parks and numerous local non-profits. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is a primary charity partner\, with many teams fundraising for T1D research. \nRegister at the official race website.

SUMMARY:Run Rabbit Run 50 & 100 Mile
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nThe Run Rabbit Run takes place across the mountains surrounding Steamboat Springs\, starting and finishing at the base of the Steamboat Springs ski area at 6\,900 feet. The 50-mile course climbs to the summit of Mount Werner at 10\,568 feet\, descends into the valley\, and then makes a dramatic traverse across the Continental Divide to Rabbit Ears Mountain at 10\,500 feet before returning to the ski area base. The 100-mile course additionally circumnavigates Buffalo Pass at 10\,300 feet and winds through Emerald Mountain and through sections of downtown Steamboat Springs itself. Both courses are well-marked with colored ribbons through mountain wilderness that remains open to hikers and bikers. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 race weekend spans September 18–19. The 100-mile race starts Friday\, September 18 — ‘Tortoises’ (slower runners) at 9:00 AM and ‘Hares’ (faster runners) at 1:00 PM\, with respective cutoffs of 36 and 30 hours. The 50-mile race starts Saturday\, September 19 at 6:00 AM\, with an early bird option for men over 60 and women over 50 at 5:00 AM; finish cutoff is 9:00 PM (15 hours). A legendary post-race party begins around noon at the finish line\, featuring beer\, burgers\, and veggie burgers — free to runners and volunteers. It’s hunting season in Colorado during this event; bright colors are encouraged. \nWhy Runners Love It\nSteamboat Springs is one of Colorado’s most welcoming mountain towns\, and the Run Rabbit Run reflects that character with a warm\, community-driven atmosphere. The race is known for its excellent course marking\, honest race management\, and the combination of ski resort trails\, alpine wilderness\, and an actual run through town that puts spectators within easy cheering distance. The tortoise/hare format for the 100-miler is one of the most practical approaches to managing a diverse ultrarunning field. \nRace Weekend Tips\nMid-September in Steamboat can bring cool mornings (high 30s°F) and warm afternoons\, with the possibility of early snowfall above 10\,000 feet. It is legally hunting season in Colorado — wear bright colors on course and avoid anything that looks like elk coloring. Steamboat Springs has a vibrant resort town atmosphere with excellent dining and accommodation; book well in advance as the race weekend coincides with peak fall travel. Crew access points are limited\, so plan your support strategy carefully. \nRegister\nRegistration details are available at runrabbitrunsteamboat.com and via UltraSignup.
