Baldface Scramble

Baldface Scramble is a trail race in White Mountain National Forest near Chatham, New Hampshire. The event offers two distances with mountain terrain and exposed ridge sections that include steep ledges and single-track trails.

• 14KM Single loop over the Baldfaces.

The start and finish area is on private farmland at Baldface Farm / Copeland Field off Route 113. Parking is in a grass field adjacent to the staging area.

Mandatory gear for both distances includes 2 liters of fluids, 400 calories of food, a windbreaker or rain shell, and a space blanket or emergency foil blanket; failure to carry mandatory gear may result in disqualification. Carrying a GPX file on a watch or phone and a water filter is highly recommended. Runners should have prior experience with hilly, moderately technical mountain trails or have completed a similar 10-mile trail race before entering. The courses list substantial elevation gain and maximum elevation near 3,578 feet; time limits are provided for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
