Beast Coast Trail Running Series

In 2022, we launched the Beast Coast Trail Running series (finally!) - to celebrate folks who run all the Beast Coast Trail Running races throughout the year.  Since many races have a shorter and longer option, we'll celebrate both the sub-ultra/trail runners and the ultra runners. In the last few years, a handful of runners have completed the series - and have the swag to show for it!

Beast Coast Trail Running Series

Runners must complete in all races in the series:
- Mt. Toby Ultra & 24k
- Seven Sisters Trail Race
- Chesterfield Gorge Ultra & 25k
- Edge Hill Trail Race
- Mt Tom Trail Race
- Race for DFL
Depending on the distance option you chose, you could be covering nearly 50 miles of trails in 2024 (and perhaps more)!
*Runners may opt for the longer distance options at any of these races. 

Beast Coast Ultra Trail Running Series

Runners must complete in all races in the Beast Coast Trail Running series, AND accumulate a minimum of 200 race miles.  For example, this can be accomplished by completing:
- 50k race at Mt. Toby Ultra & 24k
- Seven Sisters Trail Race
- 100k race at Chesterfield Gorge Ultra & 25k
- Edge Hill Trail Race 50k
- 25k race at Mt. Tom Trail Race
- 12-hours/laps (50 miles) at Race for DFL
However, runners can chose the combination that works for them!
*If a runner completes all races, but does not rack up 200 race miles, they will be considered part of the Beast Coast Trail Running Series.

The Swag!

Runners that complete either series will be awarded sweet swag (obviously something a bit nicer for the ultra folks)!  Runners must declare their intent to participate in the full series by September 1, 2024 by completing this form.
