The April 10-12 weekend was hopping for ultramarathons in New England. A pair of events took place in Massachusetts – the Spring Fever 8-Hour in Hingham, and The Next Loop Endurance Challenge in Wrentham – both of which will be covered in separate recaps. Additionally, the region rejoiced with the return of the Runamuck 50K in Vermont following a two-year hiatus. The record-setting day at Runamuck leads off this edition of the roundup, but we also catch up on results for New Englanders at other races across the country, including in Virginia, Utah, California, Oregon and Illinois.

The 2026 ultramarathon season in New England is starting to heat up. The April 3-5 weekend saw the first of four straight weekends with an ultra in Massachusetts as the Mt. Toby 50K took place in Sunderland. We’ll have that covered in a separate story, but here in this week’s roundup we are catching up on results from around the region and beyond. In Connecticut, the inaugural CT123 – a 200K journey across the state – took place. Additionally. We catch up on Maine resident Jason Geroux’s successful completion of the Arizona Monster 300-miler, and close out at the Fort Yargo Ultra 50K in Georgia.

March came to a close with plenty of New England ultrarunners toeing starting lines across the country. Here in New England, they gathered in Connecticut for the grueling Sleeping Giant Trail Run 50K where both the male and female course records fell. Also, in nearby New York, New Hampshire’s Benjamin Niebla repeated as champion at the Spring On the Trails Endurance Runs 12-hour race. From there, we catch up on results from races in Virginia, Arizona, Utah, Kansas and Georgia.

Hale Education in Westwood, Mass., was the busiest place for ultrarunners to gather in New England during the March 20-22 weekend as the Trail Animals Running Club played host to the To Hale and Back 6-hour ultra, but it wasn’t the only hot spot in the region. Runners also gathered at the Roosevelt Forest in Stratford, Conn., for another time-based opportunity at the Enchanted Forest Ultra Run. Several New Englanders also ventured outside the region to race, including New Hampshire’s Erica Notini and Massachusetts resident Scot DeDeo who placed on the podium at the Southern States 200- and 100-mile races in Alabama. Bay Stater Shannon Mellett tied for the win in the 12-hour race at the Dogwood Ultras in Virginia, and New Hampshire’s Ryan Montgomery secured a podium finish at Big Alta in California. We have all that and more covered in this week’s roundup.
