A challenging half and full marathon distance trail run in the heart of the Green Mountains at beautiful Trapp Family Lodge. Fall is the best time to visit Vermont and we think that running through crisp, colorful, fall foliage on the Trapp Lodge trail system is just the way to do it. October is a particularly special time to be in Stowe, winter is just around the corner and Oktoberfest is in full swing in and around town.
The Course
A challenging half and full marathon distance trail run in the heart of the Green Mountains at beautiful Trapp Family Lodge. Our course features a significant amount of winding single track, plus rugged dirt and gravel road/trail sections, and a scrambling climb to the summit of Round Top Mountain with breathtaking views of Mount Mansfield. In total, runners will gain and lose 1900ft of elevation per loop. That means a solid 3800ft for the full marathon! There is a 4pm cut-off for all runners.
