There was plenty of rugged running on the trails of the Northeast during the Aug. 1-3 weekend, and we have those events – as well as a few more in the eastern United States – covered here in Part II of this week’s roundup. We begin in New England, where James Boeding and Christina Danosi delivered dominant three-day efforts in winning the Ragged 75 Stage Race in New Hampshire, followed by a stop in Maine where Isaac Vaccaro earned a three-peat at the Blue Hill Mountain Trail Fest.

August unfolded with New England ultrarunners scattering from coast to coast to take on a variety of trails, terrain and distances. Multiple ultras took place close to home, and we will have them covered in Part II of this week’s roundup. Here in Part I we head West where New Englanders took part in several ultras along the coast, beginning with the classic Angeles Crest 100-miler.
