Wachusett Mountain history

2021 – The race was moved to August (08/08/21) due to the ongoing pandemic.  This may have had an impact on the number of entrants (along with the many other races being held on this weekend) as 189 completed the uphill and 154 continued on for the full 10k.  that was the smallest field since 1995.  Once again, the race had a “race within the race”.  All runners were timed to the summit and could then choose to not continue, or to continue on for the “down” portion.  The Up-race was used for USATF NE mountain series scoring and the Up/down race was the official race for award winners.  Jacob Wormald (GCS-20:57) and Kassandra Marin (WRT-23:17) were tops in the climb.  Vandir Sergio (38:14) moved up from ninth place on the summit to take the win in the 10k making up nearly two minutes over the final 5km! Kassandra Marin (WRT-43:43) held onto her top spot at the summit and won the 10k by 25 seconds.
 

All-time titles: Kara Haas became only the third person to have an overall win and two different age group wins.  She also Became only the fourth person to have three category wins joining Lisa Doucett, Tim Van Orden, and Dave Dunham.
