Westmore Mountain Challenge
Westmore, United States • 26 Sep 2026
Event Overview
The Westmore Mountain Challenge is a community-focused mountain marathon that traverses five mountains: Moose, Hor, Pisgah, Haystack, and Bald. The route uses popular trails in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom during peak fall foliage. The event is organized by the nonprofit NorthWoods Stewardship Center, which has been involved in regional stewardship for over 35 years.
Course and Distances
The course consists primarily of single-track hiking trails, interspersed with dirt road connectors for the first 21 miles. The final 5 miles of the full marathon are on a combination of dirt and paved road. The event offers two timed distances: a full marathon length and a 20-mile trail-only option. There is also an unofficial, untimed halfway point at the 12.3-mile mark at a lunch station.
Location and Registration
The event takes place in East Charleston, Vermont. Registration opens on a specified date in April. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
