2020 event: "We are continuing to plan to run the mountain on June 20, 2020.
If that is not possible based on recommendations by the government and CDC, we will postpone until Saturday August 22, 2020 at 9am. We will inform you as soon as we know if we need to postpone, but no later than May 20, 2020. No update as of May 7.

The historic all uphill run draws thousands of runners from across New England, throughout the U.S., and from countries as close as Canada and as far away as Kenya, to make the grueling climb to the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast.

As the race begins its second half-century, the challenging annual event is now officially an in-house operation of the Mt. Washington Auto Road company, the private organization that manages the ultra-steep 7.6-mile Auto Road where the race is held.
