BRADBURY BADASS RACES

Get ready for this beautiful challenge and the conclusion of the Bradbury Trail Running Series, where finishers earn the coveted Badass Hoodie as a badge of honor.There are two race options to choose from. Both will earn you a Badass Hoodie if you are completing the series, but only the Half-Pint 25K counts toward the Bradbury Trail Running Series standings and overall awards.Formerly part of the Big Brad Ultras, this event has evolved into the Bradbury Badass Races.In the Half-Pint, runners will tackle a 15.5-mile loop that’s a gauntlet of classic Maine singletrack. This journey takes you on both sides of Bradbury Mountain State Park—over Tryon Mountain, around the powerlines and Elwood Loop (better known as “Snowman’s Loop”), and back into the park for the finish.Expect tough hills, rocks, roots, and very little flat, including a 1/2 mile of paved road and 1/4 mile of dirt road.The Pounder 50K is the same course—just twice the fun. Two laps. Same terrain. Higher stakes.If you’re a true glutton for punishment, you can finish the series with the Pounder instead of the Half-Pint. It won’t make you eligible for the series title, but it will make a statement.So why not finish the series with an ultramarathon?
