Who's Racing This Weekend (updated 9/17)

We have a little bit of everything this weekend from short trail and road racing to ultra trail distances. Aliza Lapierre is back in the ultra game and will be at Iroquois 50 miler in Virgil, NY. This race follows The Finger Lakes Trail sections spanning the Tuller Hill and Kennedy State Forests, paired with the mountainous terrain of Greek Peak Mountain Resort. Ben Nephew will also be racing 50 miles but at the North Face Endurance Challenge in Sterling, VA outside of Washington, DC.

Dewey Peacock will be testing his climbing skills at the Mt.Helena Classic 5.6 mile in the city of Helena, MT. This urban to mountain trail race is an out and back course that climbs 1300' to the top of Mt.Helena and returns back down to Last Chance Gulch in downtown Helena. Kevin Tilton will be transitioning from mountain running to a 10k road race at the Lone Gull 10k, also serving as the New England 10k Road Championships this Sunday.

Back on the East Coast we have Anne Lundblad defending her title at the Bays Mountain Trail Race. A hilly 15 mile trail race at the beautiful Bays Mountain Park just outside of Kingsport, TN.
