Sport events in the summer to take part in

Winterharborway · 04-01-2008, 02:44 PM

Hi- I posted this on the activities thread as well, but figured this maybe more active. I'm interested in taking part of any races/ running/walking/ min triathalons, etc held in the Lakes region. As the warm weather will soon be approaching I would love to set some goals. the Granite State Tri is too much for me, i need something on a lower scale. Let me know!

Anyone interested? We could possibly form a team!

Thanks! Jennifer

I am usually up weekends so if there are any events, please let me know!!

Try the "Race to the Face"

www.coolrunning.com is one of the better places to keep track of upcoming local races.

(PS, I have no connection with the site. It is fairly well known within the running community)

Hi Jennifer

Check this site out. The Timberman is a great event. It may be sold out, but I would keep checking.

Endorfun does a great job with all of these.

Good luck!

-Center Harbor 4th of July 5 mile run is fun.
-Muddy Moose in Wolfeboro on 4/20 if you like trail running. Its a 4 mile or a 14 mile run.
- And I think there is a race in Moultonborough.
- Also the Tuckerman Ravine Inferno race. I think its 4/19 not sure.
Theres more like someone else said check coolrunning. Happy running.

~Gilford Old Home Day is a good 4 mile. It's at the end of August.
~Gilford Hills might be running one this summer as well. They used to run one with Patrick's but that stopped last year I believe. But there are talks of putting on another one.
Concord has quite a few too.
Good luck and hope to see you in the races!

The Reach the Beach is an annual 24-hour, 200 mile relay race from Franconia Notch to Hampton Beach. This year's race will take place September 12 -13. Believe it or not, the event is already sold out but volunteers are still needed and it's possible that some teams may need runners.
