Where the beloved Aggieman Triathlon came from. Originally named the Sea 2 Summit Sprint, the idea for the Aggieman was born from the full Sea 2 Summit triathlon. Swim, bike and run your way to the top of New England.

The Sea to Summit Triathlon is an Ironman caliber/ partially self supported race consisting of a 1.5 mile swim, 95+ mile bike ride and strenuous 5.5 mile run up the “most dangerous” mountain in the East, Mt. Washington. The race starts at 5:00AM on Saturday, June 27th, 2015 at the beautiful and hist…

I regret to inform you that we will not be hosting any races at Mendums Pond in 2014. In reassessing their risk management policy and reevaluating site uses, UNH Campus Rec decided to cancel this September’s Half Marathon. Continued complications in the planning process led me to regretfully cancel the upcoming AquaRun race.

Thank you for your past support. We had a great 5 years of races thanks to our very committed participants and UNH Campus Rec. Things change, polices change, people move on. It is what it is. We had a good run.

Good luck racing the rest of the circuit this summer and fall.

We have finally settled on some dates. The 5th Annual AquaRun2 is set for Sunday, Aug 3. The day after Acidotic Racing’s Kingman Farm Trail Run. Two great UNH properties, two great races. Heather is making Weekend Warrior take home cookie and granola packages for those brave enough to tackle both courses in two days.

The 2nd running of Mendums Half Marathon is set for Sunday, Sept 28.We’ve added relay team options for 2014.

UNH is now handling all registration in-house. That means no more online registration fees. We are saving a few trees by eliminating the print option now that third party fees have been eliminated. Thank you to Cary Rhodes at UNH Outdoor Adventures for setting this up for us.

Unfortunately July’s Mendums Adventure will not be running again in 2014. It was a great 5 years, but the other dates need more attention. Thanks to all past participants that made organizing our original event so much fun. We hope to see you again at our other events.
