Catamount Ultra, Stowe VT
The Catamount Ultra is a trail running event at the Trapp Family Lodge trail system near Mount Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont. The event offers two distance options:
- 25k single loop of the Trapp Family Lodge trail system.
- 50k two laps of the 25k loop, approximately 5000 feet total gain.
The 25k course is primarily wide, hard packed dirt trail passing highland pastures and hardwood forest with visible maple sugar tap lines. Each 25k loop contains approximately 2500 feet of elevation gain and 2500 feet of loss. The 50k consists of two of these loops and has a nine hour overall time limit.
On course support includes three aid stations located at miles 4.6, 9.4, and the start/finish area. Twenty five kilometer runners will access two of those stations while on course. The event is cup free and aid stations will be stocked with standard ultra fuels; runners are encouraged to carry personal hydration and food. A designated area at the start/finish will hold 50k runner drop bags.
Event capacity is 600. Entry fees and the refund policy are published for each year; refunds are offered less a $25 service fee if requested by May 15, and no refunds are available after that date. Spectators and crews who plan to enter the trail system are asked to purchase a property pass. Dogs are not allowed on the Von Trapp property.
