Experience the rugged beauty of Mount Kearsarge and Ragged Mountain on The Tucker Tour, an unparalleled race that weaves through 80 miles of stunning New Hampshire landscapes. This unique challenge offers runners a diverse terrain ranging from well-maintained paved roads to unrideable hike-a-bike paths through dense forests—each mile presents new challenges and breathtaking views. The tour's 15-mile stretch of maintained roads is balanced by the remaining 65 miles, which are part of Class VI roads. These unpaved routes have not been officially repaired or maintained for five consecutive years, adding a layer of unpredictability to your journey. Expect steep climbs that will test both your physical and mental limits. For those seeking less daunting distances, The Tucker Tour also offers 62-mile, 36-mile, and 24-mile options. It is wise to prepare multiple routes on your navigation device; starting with a longer course might require you to switch mid-race if the terrain proves more demanding than anticipated. Navigating this self-supported event requires strong map-reading skills as there are no cue sheets or navigational aids along the way. The race route, available in .gpx format for download on your computer or phone, will guide you through this wilderness adventure. Two general stores and gas stations provide essential provisions at approximately 19 miles and 54 miles. Completing such a demanding course rewards participants with more than just physical achievement; they receive a special sticker and mug featuring the year’s unique logo design as mementos of their accomplishment.

Inspired by Josh and his Class VI Classic event in Etna, NH, The Tucker Tour promises an unforgettable experience that challenges even the most seasoned runners while offering breathtaking scenery at every turn.
