acidotic RACING, LLC | Dare Mighty Things.

Our Story

acidotic RACING, LLC started as an adventure racing team in the summer of 2002. Brothers Chris & Jay Dunn were in search of an athletic outlet that would allow them to compete together. Racing as Team Live Free or Die they slogged through the hills and swamps of Harriman State Park during the inagural NYARA event, The Longest Day. After fifteen hours they mercifully headed toward the nearest interstate and hitched back to the finish and a DNF. Since that time they've improved their teamwork, refined their navigation skills, and enhanced their year round training programs and regularly vie for top 10 finishes at every race they compete in.

The team has now grown to over 25 members and regularly competes in snowshoe racing, mountain bike racing, ultra-distance trail running, triathlon, and road racing all over the northeast. Recently, we've added event management to our bag of tricks and will organize and host endurance events in the seacoast and lakes region of New Hampshire where we live and play.

Please explore this site to find out about our ever growing team and event management company. If you have a love for great adventure, you're always welcome to train and race with us. New to a sport we compete in? We're just the people you need...we've helped countless teammates experience new sports over the years. Thank you for your interest in acidotic RACING, LLC.

What People Are Saying About Us...

Hey Chris Dunn, the Dunn family, volunteers, sponsors, and "acidotic RACING",

As a "die-hard" WMAC member, snowshoe racer since about 2001, and moreover as one of the 3 Northeast Regional Representatives of the United States Snowshoe Association (USSSA) I just wanted to commend you and "acidotic" for providing all participants with an awesome snowshoe event today. In particular Chris, your enthusiasm and caring about ALL competitors, great organization, and greeting us at the finish deserve more than ordinary recognition. The "swag" was really nice, however the kids's events were the highlight of the day. This unique winter sport of snowshoe racing is growing steadily and it's refreshing to see kids embrace it on their own level. I intend to pass on my very positive experience to Ed Alibozek, the Guru of the WMAC snowshoe series. The course was perfectly marked, and indeed challenging with the ups, downs, and of course Cobble Mtn (personally my favorite part). By the way Chris, that guy at the top of Cobble Mtn looked way too young to be your Dad!

Thanks for having this event. The WMAC'ers present today, and others who I talked with after the race were very impressed! Nice job! As you know the WMAC snowshoe series is the "Holy Grail" of snowshoe racing in the Northeast but they/we/I have always appreciated and welcomed those who promote the spirit of snowshoe racing. You truly did that at Cobble Mtn today and many people thank you.

Kudo's to all!

Hartman Travels to United Kingdom and Conquers Tough Guy in Epic Adventure

by Dwight Hartman

Wolverhampton, ENGLAND -- I know there is nothing more anti-climatic than a race report written months after the event. For that I apologize, but for those who might be interested, here it is. After 3 months to let it all sink in, I am finally getting to the Tough Guy Race Report. First and foremost, I have to give a huge thanks to my good friend Carl Schwartz who accompanied me on this trip, giving up his time and expense to do everything

from coordinate travel plans to document via video and pictures to provide any level of support I needed. Without his presence, I can honestly say my experience would not have been nearly as enjoyable or memorable. Thank you Carl !In scheduling the trip, Carl and I planned on arriving in England a couple of days before the race in order to adjust to the time difference and diminish any stresses from winter weather delays.

Mt. Desert Island, MAINE

There are few things more fun than ultradistance relays with teammates and friends. As a tune up for Reach The Beach this fall we're sending a team of 8 Downeast to take on Crow Athletics MDI Relay. The folks at Crow are a little twisted (in a good natured way) and we're expecting an entire day's worth of laughs.
