Squam Ridge Race

Thank you for a fantastic Squam Ridge Race 2025

Thank you to everyone who came out to make Squam Ridge Race 2025 a success!

Join us for the 13th Annual Squam Ridge Race

A 12.2 mile race and hike that traverses the Squam Range with amazing views of Squam Lake and the surrounding watershed.
  • Competitive or just for fun, the Squam Ridge Race is a great way to support our maintenance of 55+ miles of Squam hiking trails.
  • There is a racer and a hiker division, so everyone is welcome to hike the route with friends and family or race as a participant of the event.
  • There is a shorter 4 mile course that climbs Mount Livermore.
  • There is no official cutoff time, but we encourage hikers who can complete the hike in 8 hours or less.
  • Top finishers in their division receive medals and the top overall finishers receive prizes!
