SHAWNEE PEAK ULTRA CHALLENGE
October 9th | Bridgton, Maine | 2HR & 6HR
DESCRIPTION
Shawnee Peak Ultra Challenge is unlike any other mountain race found in Maine! With over 1,200ft of elevation gain in just 1 mile, this race will hurt... but what's fun without a little pain? In this race, runners have either 2 or 6 hours to run as many two mile loops from the base of Shawnee Peak and back!
THE COURSE
This challenging course means business, as runners will run UP and DOWN a ski slope, over sections of rocks and steep incline/decline. The 2 mile loop has a slightly more gradual decline than the uphill route and will be marked with orange pin flags and white chalk. Aid stations supplied with water and snacks will be at the at the summit and at the base (start/finish line).
COURSE MARKINGS
The course will be well-marked with orange pin flags, "WRONG WAY" signs, and arrow signs. Three orange pin flags indicate a TURN and arrow signs will be at critical turns.
AID STATIONS
We'll have snacks, water, and aid with a volunteer at the start / finish line aid station and at the top, with a total of two stations on course.
