Marathon Challenger Award
With continued support from Toko, Swix and LL Bean, NENSA will continue to offer the New England Marathon Series Challenger Award.

M7+ have option to ski ½ or Full Marathon, with the exception of Freeman Frost where everyone skis 21km.
Use of the M7+ cut-off aligns with AXCS and World Masters standards.
