Video: 2017 Presidential Traverse with the MPF RNR Team!

Written By Joe Azze

During Memorial Day weekend this year, the Mountain Peak Fitness / Red Newt Racing Team made their way up to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to complete the 18.8 mile Presidential Traverse. With it still being early in the season and after an epic winter in the Whites, we were looking forward to what the mountains would offer us. We traversed at a sensible pace and stayed together. 

I was out there with camera in hand to capture the day. Below you will find links to our photo gallery, Strava data and other recommendations. Enjoy!  – Joe

Documenting a Presidential Traverse FKT by Ben Nephew

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Rufus Frost asking me if I was interested in being involved in the filming of a FKT attempt on the  18.4 mile Presidential Traverse. They thought the idea of an FKT attempt would be a good fit for a World of Adventure episode on Outside TV, as well as provide good footage for a Subaru ad.
