Your participation supports NCF’s vital work protecting Nantucket’s natural resources through ecological research, public access to 9,000 acres of land, and environmental education.

The course features sandy dirt roads, winding single-track trails, and technical sections with rocks, roots, and scrub oak obstacles.
Typical lap times range from 35 minutes for the fastest riders to about 60 minutes.
An aid station at Altar Rock (about halfway through) will offer water and Halloween candy to keep you energized.
