Big Brad Ultra – Trail Monster Series

Here are two great reviews of the Pounder and Punisher on the Trail Collective Weekly Rundown.  If you only want to see a review of our races, skip to about 18 minutes in. Please visit the Trail Monsters site for all the details!

Maine’s got some BIG BAD ULTRAMARATHONS: races with single-track trails, big hills, and gnarly terrain. Trail Monster Running is proud to present the eleventh annual Big Brad Ultras on October 26, 2025 on the trails of Bradbury Mountain State Park and the surrounding area.  And this year, we’ve added relays!!!

Get ready for a beautiful challenge. Runners tackle a 16.2 mile loop that’s a gauntlet of great Maine singletrack, journeying through Bradbury Mountain State Park, over Tryon Mountain, Chandler Brook, and back into Bradbury Mountain State Park. The course has tough hills, rocks, roots, and very little flat including a 1/2 mile of paved road and 1/4 mile of dirt road. With the fall foliage at it’s peak, there are sure to be many fantastic vistas along the route.

Not ready to run an ultra yet? Gather one or two friends and try the new to 2022 RELAY! or Have someone running? Come find out what it’s all about, while helping! We will have the volunteer sign up out in mid-September.

BIG BRAD ULTRAS IS A CUPLESS “ISH” EVENT.  PLEASE BRING REUSEABLE CUP FOR ALL YOUR HYDRATION NEEDS.

All finishers receive a finisher’s hoodie.  Winner’s of the 50 mile and 50k solo races earn a coveted Adirondack chair from Prospect Mountain Furniture.
