Length: Variable Rock and Root Rating: 3 Hilliness: 4 Mud Rating: 1-2 (in the Spring can be a 4) The Green Hills are the playground of local mountain runners who don’t have the time to drive to the notches but want to get some uphill running in. There are quite […]
CAUTION : OBJECTS IN PICTURES MAY BE STEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. Here is my course description of the Mt. Washington Road Race. I live in North Conway, NH, about 30 minutes from the mountain. I get to train on the road quite often and thought it might be helpful to […]
Distance: Variable Rock and Root Rating: 1 Hilliness: 1 Mud Rating: 1-2 (except in Spring where it’s a 4) Pudding Pond is a great place to run if you’re ever in North Conway and short on travel time. The main trail is only about 2 miles long, but can be […]
