SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2026- Mount Sunapee, New Hampshire
$30,000 Total USATF and Collegiate Prize Purse
Following a successful 2025 championship, the Collegiate Running Association (CRA) and SIX03 renewed their partnership and brought the Collegiate Mountain Running National Championship back to Mount Sunapee in 2026. The 2026 Sunapee Scramble Race was held on Sunday, June 7. In addition to the Collegiate Championships, the event concurrently hosted the USATF Mountain Running Championships.
For the eighth year, prize money was awarded to the top collegiate finishers in both the men’s and women’s championships. This marked the second consecutive year the Sunapee Scramble hosted the Collegiate National Championships alongside the USATF National Championships. With a total prize purse of $30,000, the stakes were high—including a dedicated $3,000 prize purse for top collegiate finishers, who also received JAMBAR, the official nutrition bar of the Collegiate Running Association.
The Sunapee Scramble also served as the USATF Mountain Running Championships and was the selection race for the 2026 U.S. Men’s and Women’s Mountain Running Teams. The top 4 overall U.S. male and female finishers automatically qualified to represent Team USA on the 2026 USATF Classic Mountain Running Teams, competing at the WMRA World Cup Uphill and Classic finale in Quebec, Canada, on October 10–11 (Team USA selection criteria are detailed here.).
