Join the 2021 New England Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge™
The 4th Annual New England Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge is a self-paced hiking and trail running challenge up six iconic New England mountains. This year there are eleven mountains to choose from. Hike any six to complete the challenge and earn your finisher patch, or tackle the ‘classic' peaks and earn a special badge.
You choose whether you want to complete them in six days, six weeks, or take the entire year. Set the schedule that works best for you.
You can climb them in order as you build your strength and endurance, or mix it up. The choice is yours. Your registration will help support Big City Mountaineers, so you'll be doing good for others with each peak you climb.
The New England Six-Pack of Peaks are a series of iconic summit hikes that will get you ready for your next big adventure.
