A friend, Justin Contois, and I are planning on doing a through run of the Midstate Trail in MA from the NH/MA border in Ashburnham, MA to the RI/MA border in Douglas, MA on April 13. I haven't been able to find any data on a single traverse as a run, so we may be going for the OKT. We're shooting for a midnight start on Sunday April 13th and will be fully supported. The trail is nominally 95 miles. [Note that the pair failed to complete the route.]

The [24-mile] Mohawk trail is a blue-blazed loop starting and ending on the Appalachian Trail in Northwestern Connecticut.  Its southern beginning is in Cornwall Bridge and it winds  through Cornwall to its northern terminus in Falls Village.  Along the way are stunning views, quiet ponds, old country roads, and plenty of exercise.

The Mohawk Trail was originally part of the Appalachian Trail before the AT was rerouted east of the Housatonic River in the 1970s.

Originally the route was from Rattle River Trail Head as also seen from the early FKTs. Now the trail goes from Gorham and the Carter Moriah TH at Bangor St.

The Dartmouth Outing Club describes the route:

The Carter Traverse is a strenuous 20-mile hike over the Carter-Moriah and Wildcat ranges of the White Mountains, on the east side of Pinkham Notch. It covers six 4,000-foot summits and, despite having no above-tree line areas, provides outstanding views of the Presidentials.
