Congratulations to the finishers of the 2022 Westmore Mountain Challenge! We threaded the needle on the weather, with rain all week but a beautiful fall day for the hours of the event. As always, participants were hardworking and gracious, powering through this monumental mental and physical challenge and then sticking around to cheer on the others. Whether you strode over the finish line or enjoyed the trek at your own pace then took a shuttle home, you are part of an esteemed group, thank you for sharing the trails with us!
