2023 Westmore Mountain Challenge

Past event
Sep 23, 2023, 5:30 AM to 6 PM

1 day. 5 mountains. 26 miles. Moose-Hor-Pisgah-Haystack-Bald

Join us for our annual one-day marathon of some of the most beautiful scenery in the NEK! Route skirts Willoughby Lake with multiple dramatic viewpoints before finishing at the NorthWoods Stewardship Center. Proceed help support NorthWoods' conservation, education and youth trail corps programs, which help to build and maintain many of the hiking trail networks in the region.

Everyone from professional trail runners to families and recreational hikers are welcome - finishers have ranged from ages 9 to 70 and finish times from 4 hours to 12 — we have a low key, supportive atmosphere, and return shuttles at the 1/2 and 3/4 marks on the trail, if you decide the full marathon is not for you. Lunch station at the halfway mark and full dinner at the finish line.

Event participation is limited so as to protect the health of the trails, so register early to grab a spot! $130/person

Local NEK hikers who embody a community spirit and love of the mountains are eligible to be nominated for the Jean Haigh Memorial Scholarship which provides full fee coverage.
