Memorial Day weekend was light on ultramarathon racing across the United States, but New Englanders found their way to several starting lines – including two in the region. The Drummer Hill Trail Races welcomed runners in New Hampshire, while the Trail Festival at Pineland Farms once again played host to a large endurance festival in Maine. We have both of those events covered, as well as a few others across the country in this edition of the roundup.

May 15-17 was a big weekend for ultramarathon running in New England with a pair of ultras in Massachusetts and a few more throughout the region. We will have the Berkshire Ultra Running Community for Service’s Tails & Trails State Forest Run and the Free Spirit 50K covered in separate recaps, but in this week’s roundup we catch up on other results from throughout the region, as well as across the country. New Englanders took part in at least 14 other ultras from coast to coast, and we have results from several of them included here.

A pair of Massachusetts races highlighted the New England ultrarunning calendar during the May 8-10 weekend with the Watuppa Trail Races in Fall River and the Trail Animals Running Club’s Wapack and Back races in Ashburnham, Mass. We’ll have those covered in separate stories, but there was plenty of additional ultrarunning action for New Englanders at events across the country. From the Hellbender 100 in North Carolina to the Cocodona 250 in Arizona, we have them covered in this edition of the roundup.
