The yearly race between the [[Nordic Ski Team]] and [[Alpine Ski Team]] and the [[Men's Varsity Crew]]. It starts on the AT next to the Reservoir and heads first to the top of Mt. Prospect, then down, then up Mt. Williams, then along the ridge up and down over Mt. Fitch and up the final pitch to the summit of Mt. Greylock. To make honor roll and have your time immortalized in stone, men must finish still alive in under 60 min., women in under 76 min. Total climb is about 2,800 ft over about 6 mi. Trail surface is uneven, wet, muddy, stony, and obscured by both leaf litter and snow. At the end you can say you are a school bad ass and then fall over in a quivering heap and puke your guts out. If you're really fit you can go back down a little ways and cheer on the poor suckers who have yet to figure out that the faster you go, the less time you have to spend suffering.
