More than 500 runners gathered in Carlisle, Mass., for the Trail Animals Running Club’s TARC Fall Classic on Saturday, Sept. 6. While that event – which will be covered in a separate recap – was the region’s largest ultramarathon event during the Sept. 5-7 weekend, it was far from the only one taking place in New England. Four more ultras were held throughout the region, with two events apiece in Connecticut and Maine. We have all of that New England goodness covered in this edition of the roundup.

August ended with a bang for ultrarunners in New England with four events scattered throughout the region, including races in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. But runners from the region also showcased their grit globally. Though UTMB’s results only list runners by nationality and thus are not included in this roundup, Vermont’s Britta Clark finished 27th in the female field (31:11:19) at UTMB and fellow Vermonter David Sinclair was the male runner-up in the 101K CCC (10:13:42). Additionally, a pair of New England women thrived at a grueling 250K, six-day stage race in Iceland with Boston resident Laura Ricci emerging as a champion. That international success leads off this edition of the roundup.
