The Squam Ridge Race is a 12.2 mile race that traverses a majority of the Squam Range, crossing three summits with amazing views of Squam Lake and the surrounding watershed with about 3,000 feet of elevation gain. The race is mostly single track with 1.8 miles of pavement, 0.5 miles of dirt road, 1.3 miles of double track, and 8.6 miles of single track trail. There is a racer and a hiker division, anyone is welcome to run or hike the route as a participant of the event.
For those seeking a shorter challenge, there will also be a 4 mile race that climbs to the top of Mount Livermore and back to the start/finish area. There are both racer and hiker divisions, so everyone is welcome to hike the route with friends and family or race as a participant of the event.
Top finishers in their division receive medals and the top overall finishers receive prizes. CDC and New Hampshire state guidelines regarding Covid-19 procedures will be monitored while preparing for the race.
