Newry, ME

Welcome to Uphill Will, the East's only 24 hour uphill-only race! How far could you climb if you never had to trash your quads running downhill? Well, we are going to find out. Can you make it higher than the Northeast's Mt Washington in 6 hours? How about Mt Whitney in 12 hours? And who will step into the "Everesting" Hall of Fame with a 24 hour effort of 29,031 ft? 

Join TruStrength Athletics and Run The Whites at Sunday River for what will be one of the biggest races of the year. The premise is simple. The event is not.

Racers start at South Ridge Express and run 1,200 ft uphill on wooded single track, open rock slab ridges, ski trails and gravel roads to reach the North peak Lodge. From there racers hop into an 8 person Chondola car and ride back to the start. Spend the 10 mins gazing across the immense scenery as fall approaches the White Mountains of New England while you refuel and chat with other racers. The chondola spits you out and away you go for another lap! Repeat this for 6, 12 or 24 hours and we have one epic showdown. Let's get some vert!
