Get ready to unleash the throttle at the 1st Annual Roxbury Radar Runs, presented by the legendary Knotty Moose Tavern, on the frozen expanse of Roxbury Pond in Roxbury, Maine. This is where horsepower meets heart-pounding speed.
Drivers will face off on a 660-foot straightaway, a precision-marked stretch designed for one thing only: maximum velocity. Each participant gets two full-throttle runs, giving you a second chance to chase glory, shave off seconds, and push your machine to its limit.
As engines roar and radar guns lock on, the competition heats up—bragging rights, blistering speeds, and winter racing glory are all on the line. Whether you’re piloting a finely tuned sled, a street-legal rocket, or a purpose-built speed machine, this is your moment to prove who owns the fastest run on the pond.
Cold air. Hot engines. Pure adrenaline.
Welcome to the Roxbury Radar Run—where speed is the only language that matters.

ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?
Tough Mountain Challenge isn’t your average obstacle race—it’s New England’s most rugged, rowdy, and relentlessly fun event. Since 2010, we’ve been tearing up the mountains of Western Maine with a course designed to test your grit and reward your effort—with mud, sweat, and cold beer.
Hosted at Sunday River Resort, the course winds through ski trails, wooded terrain, and natural mountain features, with plenty of custom-built obstacles in the mix. Whether you’re here to compete, complete, or just survive with style, it’s the kind of challenge you’ll talk about all year.
Save the date: July 25, 2026. Let’s get after it.
