    Run - 4.5 miles
  • The point to point run is entirely on the Rangeley Lakes Trail System. Athletes will enter the trail from the RLTC lot (T2) and head toward Saddleback Mountain.
  • The last mile of the run features a very challenging climb up to the Base Lodge, but also provides some incredible views of Rangeley Lake.
  • Please note: The ROMP run has some fairly technical parts of the trail (roots, rocks, etc), so it is important that you have some experience with this type of terrain. We recommend that you spend part of your training on trails, in order to develop a comfort on them.
