Race to the Top of Bradford, June 6, 2026

The event takes place in Bradford, Vermont at 1100 Chase Hollow Road on town-owned forestland. It offers two distances and uses the trails on Wrights Mountain. Registration closes June 5 at 11:59 PM ET.

5K: Trail course with an ascent of 850 feet to the summit.
1.5 Miler: Shorter fun run open to ages 13 and under.

The 5K route climbs to Bradford's highest point on Wrights Mountain, provides a quick view from the summit, and returns to the starting area. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and top female finishers in the 5K.

The 1.5 mile option runs through the lower Wrights Mountain Forest and is described as less challenging. Young children must be accompanied by an adult, and all children who complete this course will receive a prize.

All proceeds will benefit the Friends of Wrights Mountain Fund, which is used to maintain Wrights Mountain and Devil's Den Town Forest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
