Now in its fifth year, the Turtle Pond Circuit Race is quickly becoming a New England Classic. Attracting over 500 racers last season, we are expecting an even larger turnout this year. Each year we improve upon the venue as well. For 2007, we have localized parking, registration and the start in Loudon, NH. The same challenging finish atop Oak Hill will still be used, and is within a mile of the new start/parking locations. This should be a big improvement not only in the convenience for riders, but for logistics, results and efficiency as well.

Course Description
The course travels along a fast and rolling 11-mile circuit in scenic East Concord and Loudon, NH. Surrounded by residences and farms, the area provides the perfect backdrop for a classic New England race. With excellent road surfaces on much of the course from a 2005 repaving, expect one of the nicest courses in the region. The finish, located at the top of Oak Hill is approximately 1.5km in length and provides an opportunity for the all-around rider to shine.

Testimony
“What an awesome course! . . . if you didn’t get to this race make sure you go next year. The course is one of the better road courses we have in New England (not too hilly that only pure climbers can excel and not too flat that the sprinters take the glory).”
- Mark McCormack, former USPRO Champion
