Sun 20th October 2024 (7:45AM EDT)
$48.70
CLOSEDCheck-in: 7:45 -8:10AM Bus Leaves: 8:15 AM Welcome to the RidgeWalks most challenging trail! Push yourself or casually walk this magnificent trail. It features steep, rocky, and sometimes wet sections, as well as significant climbs and descents of 800 feet or more. The reward is the awesome beauty on a clear day while negotiating wild, remote and challenging footpaths that wind you slowly northeast to the finish line. Extra hydration is a must, so carry a bottle of water; but dont worry; 6 aid stations will be along the way! The awesome beauty on a clear day while negotiating wild, remote and challenging footpaths that wind you slowly northeast to the finish line is sure to inspire. A cutoff time of 1:15 PM WILL BE ENFORCED at Fords Brook South Branch Aid Station at approximately 4.5 mi. to go. Anyone coming through after 1:30 PM will be asked to be shuttled to the finish line for their safety. To make the cut off you must cover at least 2.5 miles per hour. With still some tough terrain in the last 4.5 miles it would mean the participant could not make the finish line before 3:00 PM at the earliest and we will be running out of busses and food by that time. -
