The June 13-15 weekend was relatively quiet on the New England ultrarunning scene, with runners gathering at one race in Connecticut and scattering to just a handful of others across the country. Locally, a pair of Massachusetts residents earned victories at the Ansonia Six-Hour Trail Run in Connecticut, while a few more raced in Wisconsin and New York. It all adds up to some light reading in this edition of the roundup.

New Englanders collected hard-earned finishes – and a few victories – at ultramarathons in the West and Midwest during the June 6-8 weekend. Here in Part II of this week’s roundup we check in on those regions, with results from California, Michigan, Nevada and Colorado, but a pair of New England women lead us off with Shae Regan’s overall win at the Malibu Canyon 50K and Johanna Ylanen’s victory at the Huron 100.

The June 6-8 weekend was busy for New England ultrarunners who took on races from coast to coast. In this week’s two-part roundup, we begin on the East Coast where a large gathering of runners took part in the Drummer Hill Trail Races in New Hampshire. Then we head to Virginia for the classic Old Dominion 100 and the Dam Yeti 50, before closing out in South Carolina at the Hell Hole 100.

While the Chesterfield Gorge Ultra in Massachusetts was the hottest – and wettest – place to race in the region during the May 30-June 1 weekend, several New Englanders closed out the month with strong performances at ultras nationwide. Still, of all the locations to race, Pennsylvania is where they threw down the hardest, with a pair of Rhode Island residents, Ben Quatromoni and Sandy Spitler, earning victories at the Worlds End Ultras and Connecticut’s Caitlin Rossi taking the overall win at the inaugural Berry Mountain 12-Hour Challenge. They lead off this edition of the roundup.

The ultrarunning scene was hot across northern New England during Memorial Day weekend with events in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The Infinitus ultras wound down to close out 10 days of muddy miles on the trails of Vermont at the multi-day classic. In New Hampshire, runners journeyed on roads and trails before climbing a mountain at the Manchester 2 Monadnock 55-miler. Finally, Maine’s Pineland Farms Trail Festival made 100 miles more tempting with a 30-hour option this year, and several runners from the region took advantage. We have all of those events covered – plus the Flagstaff Buffaloops Ultra in Arizona – in this edition of the roundup.
