Race to the Top of Bradford

Race to the Top of Bradford is a trail running event held on Wright's Mountain in Bradford, Vermont, on town-owned forestland near 1100 Chase Hollow Road. The main course is a 5K that climbs about 850 feet to Bradford's highest point, then loops back toward the starting area. Prizes are awarded to the top male and female finishers.

A 1.5 mile fun run is offered as a shorter option and is open to participants ages 13 and under. That course runs through the lower Wrights Mountain forest and is described as less steep. Young children must be accompanied by an adult, and all children receive a prize for completing the course.

All proceeds benefit the Friends of Wrights Mountain Fund. Funds are used for maintenance of the Wrights Mountain / Devil's Den Town Forest. Registration closes Fri, Jun 5 at 11:59 PM ET.
