Race Course
Starting near the center of town, participants will wind their way up the paved Tripoli and Ski Area roads to the ski area base lodge, a distance of 5k with ~300ft of elevation gain. Run it, walk it, or crawl it - however you make it, you'll be treated to great views of Spring in Waterville Valley and that sweet sense of accomplishment at the top of this hill climb.
