Lover's Lane - Chester, VT

Lover's Lane in Chester, VT on August 8, 2026 is a timed trail event offering two endurance formats: a six hour option and a twelve hour option. The event uses a looped trail course that begins and ends at the Chester town park, which provides ample parking.

The course is a 1.8 mile loop with approximately 280 feet of elevation gain and loss per loop. Trail surfaces include single-track, double-track, and jeep trails. The event is organized in a fat ass style and is described as a barebones event with basic on-course support.

Basic provisions listed for participants include Untapped Maple Aid electrolyte drink, general snacks, and burgers and hot dogs with vegetarian options. Participants who need special dietary items are asked to bring those items; shared food contributions are part of the event arrangements. Organizers note they will help where possible on race day but will not have every specialty item available.

The town park facility includes a pool with lifeguard coverage when weather permits, a skate park, softball fields, tennis courts, walking trails, and an 18-hole disc golf course for spectators and companions. Lover's Lane benefits the Chester Recreation Department and the Turning Point Recovery Center of Springfield. Registration closes August 6.
