Only 3 weeks to go until the Bretton Woods Fell running race! Don’t miss out on this fantastic race.
Bretton Woods Fell Race: Was first held in the fall of 2012, it was moved to June in 2013 as a replacement for Pack Monadnock in the USATF NE mountain series. In 2014 it was moved back to the first weekend in October. This is the only Fell race in the series and was the first series race held in the fall. This is the only Fell race held in the USA. The sport of fell running can be traced to traditionally held races in the Northern region of England. The major difference between fell running and mountain (or trail running) is that true fell running requires you to be able to navigate the course (often without paths) with route choice between checkpoints being left to the individual. At Bretton Woods a “consensus” course may be marked giving runners the choice to follow the somewhat longer route without having to navigate.
