The Black Fly Trail Run
The Black Fly Trail Run takes place on May 30, 2026, in Westmore, Vermont. The event offers several race distances: a Half Marathon (approx. 13 miles), a 10 Miler, an Adult 5k, and a 5K.
Half Marathon The half marathon covers approximately 3,300 feet of elevation gain on mixed terrain of dirt roads and private trails over two mountain summits. The course is described as "climby" and variable.
10 Miler The 10-mile course is roughly half dirt road and half trail. It includes a climb up Goodwin Mountain with about 1,200 feet of elevation gain on trails including double-track ATV trails.
5k The 5k course is half dirt road and half trails on state land. It begins with a solid climb and ends with a view.
A post-run party is offered for registered participants. This includes a meal described as locally sourced and Vermont-style, and beer from Red Barn Brewing. An after-party barn dance with a local band is planned for the evening.
Organizers note that the course for the 5k may be rerouted if trail conditions from winter snowmelt are too wet, to avoid damaging the trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
