One week until the USA Fell Running Championships!

One week until the Bretton Woods Fell running championship and final race in the 2016 USATF NE mountain series.  Don’t miss out!

I’ve described the route I plan on taking.  Keep in mind that the course will be marked but the marked route may not be the shortest.  Keep in mind that ski trails typically only have signage at the TOP so knowing the name of trail may not help if you don’t have a sign.

A = Bottom of Little Tuckerman (on West Mountain)

Start to A – Stay low on the dirt road then up Presidential on paved road then round the corner and ascend via Oscar Baron’s

 

B = Bottom of No Regrets on (Middle Mountain)

A to B – Dirt road (Range View) to Archies alley down to Fayban’s Express (avoids No Regrets which has lousy footing)

 

C = Top of Stinger (on Mt Rosebrook)

B to C – Straight up Fayban’s Express (lift line) and continue up Upper express to Stinger (behind first aid?)

 

D = Bottom of Darby’s Drop (in Deception Bowl)

C to D – Down upper swoop, pass Latitude 44 (keep it on your left) then down Cascade, Perimeter, and Darby’s Drop.  Could also pass Lat 44 and continue down Sawyers’s swoop to the dirt road, cut right on dirt road and hard left down Perimeter and continue down Darby’s.  Do NOT follow the marked course down Bigger Ben (unless you are doing the short course)!

Note:  The marked route from D to E can be followed DOWN after Latt 44 (but I would avoid Deception bowl – long grass and wet footing)

 

E = Top of Jump Turn

D to E – Back up Darby’s drop to Perimeter and Cut across on dirt road and straight up Big Ben to Lat 44, turn right on dirt road (Moutain road) left up Dave’s drop (2^nd slope after Lat 44), Right at top of Dave’s drop on Outer Bounds

 

F = Bottom of Waumbek (base of West Mountain)

E to F – Down Outer bounds to Aggassiz, around the corner at the bottom to the base of Waumbek

 

F to finish – Crawford to Short cut Down Bretton Woods or Dirt road to paved road to Carrol to Crawford ridge road or Crawford ridge to Short cut, down Rage View.  All are the same distance; the one with road might be a little faster because of better footing?
