Lover's Lane - Chester, VT

Lover's Lane is a timed running event on August 8, 2026 in Chester, VT offering 6 hour and 12 hour options. The event begins and ends at the Chester town park and uses a looped trail course.

The course is a 1.8 mile loop with about 280 feet of elevation gain and loss per loop. Trails include single-track, double-track, and jeep trails, so the route mixes narrower trail sections with wider tracks.

The event is organized in a fat ass style and is described as a barebones event. Organizers provide basic support such as Untapped Maple Aid electrolyte drink, snacks, and burgers and hot dogs with vegetarian options. Participants are asked to bring special or unique food items they require, including gluten free items, and to share extras since not every item will be available on site.

The Chester town park offers ample parking and facilities for spectators and families, including a pool with a lifeguard when conditions allow, a skate park, softball fields, tennis courts, walking trails, and an 18 hole disc golf course. The event benefits the Chester Recreation Department and the Turning Point Recovery Center of Springfield, VT. Entry fee is listed as 30 USD and registration closes on August 6, 2026.
