The Heartbreaker Mountain Race
The Heartbreaker Mountain Race is a winter trail race held at Monadnock State Park in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. The course is an out-and-back route of 3.8 Miles, running from Monadnock State Park Headquarters to the peak of Mount Monadnock via the White Dot Trail and returning the same way. The event uses mountain trails and includes ascent to the summit.
The race is described as difficult and intended for mountain savvy participants. Racers should be prepared for possible subzero temperatures, high winds, and extensive ice and snow on the trail. Trekking poles are allowed. There is a three hour maximum cutoff for timing.
Participant requirements include traction such as micro spikes, appropriate apparel for variable winter conditions, and personal water and nutrition because there are no aid stations on the mountain; water is provided at the Base Pavilion only. A cell phone is required. Registration opens 11/8/2026 and closes 2/12/2027. The registration fee is $35.00. The event location is 169 Poole Road, Jaffrey, NH 03452, United States.
