Bradbury Badass Races

Get ready for this beautiful challenge and the conclusion of the Bradbury Trail Running Series, where finishers earn the coveted Badass Hoodie as a badge of honor.

Runners will tackle a 15.5-mile loop that’s a gauntlet of classic Maine singletrack. This journey takes you on both sides of Bradbury Mountain State Park—over Tryon Mountain, around the powerlines and Elwood Loop (better known as “Snowman’s Loop”), and back into the park for the finish.

Expect tough hills, rocks, roots, and very little flat, including a 1/2 mile of paved road and 1/4 mile of dirt road.

Formerly part of the Big Brad Ultras, this event now features the Half-Pint 25K loop for runners looking to complete the series or step up in distance—and for those looking to go all in, the Pounder 50K, completing two laps of the Half-Pint course.

Of course, if you’re a true glutton for punishment, you can finish the Bradbury Trail Series with the Pounder instead of the Half-Pint. It won’t earn you anything extra, but everyone will know what you did. And isn’t that enough?
