White Mountain Throwdown

View from Middle Mountain.


The White Mountain Throwdown is a 3-month series where a Strava segment will be created and raced during a given month. Below you'll find the summer 2026 schedule. The rules are simple: complete the segment in the given month and upload to Strava. Awards: Complete all three routes and you get a free pair of RTW socks. Top 10 men & women on each segment will receive gift cards to the shop (prize schedule below).

May 2026: Peaked / Middle Ascent: 3.3mi / 1,725' — View Segment
Our season opener is a classic — the Peaked to Middle Mountain linkup is in the Green Hills Preserve and includes a much appreciated downhill section in the connector over to the Middle Mountain Trail. The segment ends at the top of Middle so make sure to take a second to enjoy the view. This is a busy route so be mindful of other hikers in the area. Park at the Pudding Pond Trailhead.
Awards: Gift cards to the top 10 men and top 10 women ($100, $90, $80, $70, $60, $50, $40, $30, $20, $10).

July 2026: TBD (Western Whites) — View Segment
Our mid-season segment will be a new trail for many folks that certainly won't disappoint. Expect 3,000'+ of climbing on this one.
Awards: Gift cards to the top 10 men and top 10 women ($150, $135, $120, $105, $90, $75, $60, $45, $30, $15).

September 2026: TBD — Mount Washington — View Segment
This is a premiere trail up Mount Washington. The segment only runs 1 mile but it's arguably the best mile on the mountain.
Awards: Gift cards to the top 10 men and top 10 women ($300, $270, $240, $210, $180, $150, $120, $90, $60, $30).
