About

The Anchor Down Ultra in Bristol, Rhode Island, is one of the East Coast's most iconic ultramarathons, held in beautiful Colt State Park. On August 6, 2027, the 6-Hour, 12-Hour and 24-Hour races all start at 7 p.m.

Designed to challenge seasoned veterans and newcomers to ultrarunning alike, the event offers a demanding mix of trail and paved road, made tougher by notoriously high temperatures. The loop course gives frequent access to aid stations and lets runners push their limits in a striking coastal setting. Whether the goal is to outrun the competition or to tackle a first ultra, it is a true test of endurance in one of the sport's most welcoming environments.
