The first annual New England 200 Miler and 100 Miler will be indeed held on Halloween Weekend.
Myself and assistant Race Director Andy Weinberg have a quality race planned It is the 6th and final race of the year in the Peak Racing Series.
The 200 Milers Start on October 30th and the 100 Milers start on November 1.
We give a a 72 hour time limit for 200 and 36 for 100.
If anyone wants to join us, I will be running the first 30-40 miles of the course this Saturday (8/16).

While typically the mud would be gone this time of year. New England has been experiencing a summer of epic proportions in terms of rain and thunder.
We had a mountain bike race planned for the first weekend and August and we had to move it to the last weekend in August due to MUD. Hopefully by the time October/November rolls around it’ll have simmered a bit.

All of the information is posted on New England Ultras.com including a google earth map of the course.

Anything else please let us know!

The Annapurna Mandala Trail 2008 (AMT2008) by Roger Henke

The Annapurna Mandala Trail is hardly known outside France; so much for ‘globalization’. As in many other sectors, the disconnect between the Anglo-Saxons and the Gallics is near total. France has a large and vibrant mountain and ultrarunning community. Within that community the AMT is well-known, receiving coverage in specialized magazines (e.g. Endurance ) and even on television (TV5).
But when Marjan and I meet the other participants we turn out to be the only two non-French amongst a total of 48 runners and walkers. Apart from the eight Nepali invitees among those participants that is. Of the 48, 43 are going to run the AMT, which means that they carry all they need on their own back. The walkers can hand over 10 kg to a porter of the supporting trekking agency Base Camp Trek (BCT). As it turns out, we are all walkers on the up-hills, although there is walking and walking, and walking as fast uphill as you can is a pretty exhausting discipline; and some of the walkers do not eschew the occasional downhill run.
