The Jug End Loop Ultra takes place each summer in gorgeous Egremont, Massachusetts. Run/walk as many laps as you choose of the 4.2 mile course before cutoff. No partial laps will be scored. (Note: .88 mile “mini jug” loops to be used the last hour of the race. No full 4 mile loops may be started after the 5 hour mark.)
Course Description
4.2 mile course through woods, fields, apple orchard. Approximately 2.1 miles of uphill and 2.1 miles of downhill per lap. 830′ elevation change per lap. Follow the Jug End Loop Trail and includes upper loop.**UPDATED Route Description**: At 5:00:00, the route to the upper loop will be closed and there will be a .88 mile mini loop to use for the last 60 minutes. My hope is this will allow folks to get the necessary distance to hit milestones (1/2 marathon, marathon, 50k).
Runners will encounter fields, stream crossings, apple orchards, undulating trails and breathtaking views. Certain to become a staple in your summer race calendar!
Awards
All runners are greeted with handmade ceramic mugs at the finish line. Overall Awards for Top Male and Female. Age Group Awards (<19, 20-39 Open, 40-59 Masters, 60)

We have donated more than $10,000 to Louison House through this event! The 4.2 Mile John G Memorial Run will donate profits to Dana Farber.
