Course and logistics
The course is a 13.1-mile loop on the Trapp Lodge trail system. Per loop runners gain and lose about 1,900 ft of elevation, so full marathon competitors face about 3,800 ft total. The route mixes double-track trails and dirt roads with serpentine, rugged single track. It includes a scrambling climb to the summit of Round Top Mountain and provides views of Mount Mansfield. The last four miles of the loop are downhill.
Aid stations are located at roughly miles 4 and 9, with an additional aid station and drop bag location at the halfway point for full marathon runners; those stations are restocked with water, specialty hydration, gels, snacks, and basic first aid. The race is cup-free; runners must carry a bottle, pack, or collapsible cup. The course closes at 4:00 PM (8-hour limit for full marathon runners). Packet pickup is available the day before and on race morning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
