Race to the Top of Bradford

Newbury, United States • 7 Jun 2025

The Race to the Top of Bradford is a scenic running event held in Bradford, Vermont, featuring a challenging 5K race and a 1.5-mile fun run. The 5K course ascends 850 feet to the summit of Wright's Mountain, the highest point in Bradford, offering runners beautiful trail views before looping back to the start. The shorter 1.5-mile run is designed for participants aged 13 and under, providing a gentler route through the lower forest area, with adult accompaniment required for young children.
