Waterville Valley Mountain Race

The Waterville Valley Mountain Race follows a traditional out-and-back course in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire — a demanding climb of roughly 7 miles up the mountain before runners retrace their steps back down to the finish. The race has a serious pedigree: it has previously served as the host venue for the U.S. Mountain Running Championship. That history makes it a fitting test for any runner looking to measure themselves against a genuine mountain running course, where sustained climbing and an equally sustained descent define the day.
