Sunapee Scramble Race Companion
Send us Fan Mail Sunapee is the kind of short trail race that exposes everything you skipped in training. Two loops. Steep ski-area grades. A second lap that turns sloppy and technical. And if the forecast holds, wet rock, roots, and mud that can rip shoes right off your feet. That’s why we’re so fired up for the Sunapee Scramble and the US Mountain Running Championships, where a national title and Team USA selection spots are on the line. We walk through the course in plain language, ...

Rena Schwartz - Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail One muddy ski slope can turn a championship race into a traction test, and Mount Sunapee is exactly that kind of day. We sit down with rising mountain runner Rena Schwartz for a quick, honest pre-race check-in before the US Mountain Running Championships, where the stakes include confidence, experience, and a real shot at Team USA. Rena talks about how wild it feels to be back a year later, especially since last year was basically her first true trail race. We get into what’...

Elisa Morin - Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail The fastest races can be the most revealing, especially when they’re your first start back after injury. We sit down with a Quebec-based Brooks athlete ahead of the Sunapee Scramble to talk about what it really feels like to open a season in June, how to race without a perfect taper, and why “no pressure” still turns into a hard charge once the gun goes off. If you love trail running, mountain running, and the messy reality of rebuilding fitness, this one is packed with pract...

Oakley Olson - Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail Mud, pressure, and a two-loop course that punishes impatience. We sit down with Oakley Olson as she heads into Sunapee for the US Mountain Running Championships, fresh off finishing her time at Florida State and moving back to Utah where altitude and technical trails feel like home again. Oakley walks us through what NCAA training in the ACC gives her heading into trail running season, then breaks down Twisted Fork in Park City: a great venue, a stacked vibe, and weather tha...

Mason Coppi - Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail A championship race can mess with your head before it ever tests your legs. We’re back with Mason Cobi on the eve of the US Mountain Running Championships at Mount Sunapee, and we get real about the early season weirdness: stacked fields, unknown fitness, and the uncomfortable shift from “underdog” to “the guy people watch” on the start line. Mason breaks down how he thinks about pressure, why being keyed off can be a disadvantage, and how he’s learning to race from a more es...

Remi Leroux - Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail Sunapee is the kind of mountain race that exposes everything you try to hide, especially your downhill. We sit down with Remy LaRue to get specific about what changed in his training since last season, why he finally feels more prepared for the Sunapee Scramble, and how technical trail skills can make or break a two-loop race when the pace goes nuclear from the gun. We talk through the messy reality of getting to the start line healthy, including Remi’s Achilles issues last ...

Courtney Coppinger - Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail Two loops can mess with your head in a way a single climb never will, and Mount Sunapee is the perfect example. We sit down with Courtney Coppinger to get specific about what wins a mountain classic style race: how hard to push the first climb, where the real separation happens on lap two, and why the steep grass start is the fastest way to ruin your day if you get greedy. If you love mountain running, trail racing, and short high-intensity climbs with technical descents, thi...

Gabby DeAngelis- Pre Sunapee Scramble (U.S. Mountain Running Championship) Interview
Send us Fan Mail That moment when a trail points straight down, the mud is slick, and your brain says “absolutely not” but you go anyway, laughing the whole way. That’s the vibe of our pre-race sit-down with Gabby DeAngelis as Sunapee race week finally arrives, and it’s also a perfect window into why New England trail running hooks so many people. We talk with Gabby about her unconventional path into the sport, from four years of college soccer at Siena to discovering she actually loved trac...
