Monadnock - Sunapee Greenway Trail (NH)

Josh Ferenc & Greg Hammett, 9h30m04s, May 10, 2008.
Sue Johnston, 13h5m (accompanied), May 2, 2002.

The Monadnock-Sunappe Greenway Trail (MSGT) is a 48 mile long hiking trail that links Grand Monadnock with Mount Sunapee in southwestern New Hampshire. It winds along the Monadnock Highlands that divide the Connecticut and Merrimack River drainages. It is maintained by the Monadnock-Sunappe Greenway Trail Club.

Josh Ferenc & Greg Hammett ran the trail from north to south in 9h30m4s on May 10, 2008. Their trip is reported in the August issue of Trail Runner Magazine.

On May 2, 2002, Sue Johnston and Hans Put ran the trail in 13h5m. Though "not a super stellar time" (Johnston's words), this appears to be the women's FKT.

Yesterday, June 9, I ran the Monadnock Sunapee Greenway from North to South in 9:18:43.

I'd been hoping to go under 9 hours but the second half of the trail was harder than I anticipated. My altimeter recorded just over 9,000 feet of gain from summit to summit.

Lots of fun.

A group of local runners (myself included) completed South to North on May 28th (and some of the 29th) 2016. The heat of the day obliterated us but we wanted to get it done so we stretched it out over 16:45 or so. If it wasn't the first real hot run of the year it would have been much quicker.

I figured I'd add it here because I didn't see something listed for S to N specifically, possibly to spur some interest. We ran every step together, the party also included two female companions Annie Gagliardi and Alexandra Brinkert.
