The Ghost Train 100 Mile ultra leads runners along the historic Granite Town Rail Trail, once a bustling railroad corridor that transported granite and ice through the forests of New Hampshire. The route traces weathered railway remnants and follows a path where the echoes of trains still seem to linger, especially as night falls and the atmosphere becomes both vibrant and haunting in the heart of autumn. Participants journey through tunnels of peak fall foliage, experiencing striking scenery and the mysterious energy of a landscape steeped in history and local legend. As runners push into the deep hours beneath long shadows and rustling leaves, they’re challenged not just by distance, but by the trail’s eerie beauty and the legends that haunt its bends.
