This race takes you through meadows, by streams, through the forest; continuously gorgeous and delightful. The vibes are very peaceful and through the race we were often running alone. It is very hilly and rolls the entire time so pace yourself. The last mile was the hardest- steep and sunny- but the music, cheering and my running mates kept me going.
My only request would be for it to me more planet conscious, offering things like a no metal option, recycling for paper, fuel that isn’t individually wrapped in plastic, etc. but this course was otherwise practically perfect in every way! Great vibes, music, clearly marked trails, friendly people, super organized, not overcrowded, and the landscape enchanting. Absolute magic.

I ran the 100 km trail race at Pineland Farms as my qualification race for Vermont 100 because I previously ran the Pineland Farms 50 Mile Trail Challenge twice, finishing under 11 hours on both occasions. My experience with the similar course gave me some confidence going in. Under the new management, 40 Back Events, the Pineland Farms 100 km course is a slightly updated 14.9-mile loop or 25K, so runners will need to complete 4 laps. This is a reliable and relatively fast course for 100-mile race qualifications. Highly recommend it.
