Our two newest sponsors have your feet covered!
Let the races to begin here on Mount Washington. This weekend weather permitting will be the running of Newton’s Revenge a bike race up the famous Mount Washington Auto Road. Newton’s Revenge is listed as ‘the other Toughest Hillclimb in the World’. The Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb which will be held on August 18th is known as ‘The Toughest Hillclimb in the World’. For anyone who hasn’t had the opportunity to come up to the Summit on the Auto Road it a nice well maintained 7.6 mile stretch of road to the Summit with only one hill.
The 12th annual Seek the Peak also right around the corner with only 14 days left to that great event. The great news there is that SmartWool and Vasque have just signed on to be Gold level sponsors of this year’s event. In addition to their generous support, both companies are also providing hundreds of dollars’ worth of prizes and giveaways, including 15 pairs of Vasque boots, a pair of SmartWool’s new PhD socks for every goodie bag, and five $100 gift certificates for SmartWool apparel!
If you don’t want to do the hike you can still share all the fun and excitement of our huge after party, annual meeting presentation, and outdoor expo. Tickets are also available here for a sumptuous, all-you-can-eat feast.
