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.

A big weekend of ultramarathon racing in New England with four events across three states. In Maine, the 10th and final running of the Riverlands 100 took place, as did the Big A 50K. In New Hampshire, the White Lake Ultras attracted hundreds of runners to do laps around the water. In Connecticut, technical trails were aplenty at the Blue 2 Blue Challenge 50K. Results from Big A and Blue 2 Blue were unavailable at the time of publication, but we have the other events – as well as more from beyond the region – covered in this edition of the roundup.

April came to a close with a pair of ultrarunning events in New England. On trail, runners took on the TARC Spring Classic in Massachusetts, which we will have covered in a separate article. On road, runners raced the historic Jack Bristol Lake Waramaug Ultras for the 52nd time. In this week’s roundup, we catch up on the action at Lake Waramaug, and then look beyond the region as New Englanders earned ultra finishes in Maryland, Georgia, Virginia and Utah.
