Registration Opens for White Lake Ultra

Runners can now sign up for the 2025 edition of New Hampshire’s popular White Lake Ultra.

The race, which is now organized by Aravaipa Running, will be held May 3 and 4 in 2025 and will include three formats: a six-hour race, a 12-hour race, and a 24-hour race.

The event takes place at scenic White Lake State Park, with a course that goes around the lake and offers dramatic views of Mount Chocorua and other nearby peaks.

In previous years, the event featured a three-mile course. But because of storm damage last year, the 2024 edition featured a two-mile course that stayed close to the lake. And it appears the 2025 edition will keep the two-mile format, as organizers described the course as two-mile single and double track loops.

The White Lake loop makes it a great ultra for runners of all abilities. Beginners who might be intimidated by longer loop distances and challenging terrain get the comfort of a short, flat loop to try. And advanced runners get to push themselves on a very runnable course.
