The Vermont 100 Endurance Race is one of the original 100 mile runs in the USA and a part of the Grand Slam Series of Ultrarunning. Each year, 300 runners attempt to finish this hilly race over beautiful Vermont back roads and trails under the 30 hour cutoff point, and a well-trained few finish in under 24 hours. The current course record is 14:47:35. The race proceeds support Vermont Adaptive.
Since 1989, endurance athletes have traveled from across the country and around the world to test their limits against the Vermont 100 Endurance Race.
The 100-mile course features 17,000 feet of total ascent over approximately 68 miles of rolling dirt roads, 30 miles of horse trails, and 2 miles of pavement as it winds its way over country roads, through forested trails, and alongside breathtaking views of the southern Green Mountains. There are no major climbs, but boy are there plenty of little ones!
This course crosses over 30 pieces of private property and we only have permission to use these trails on race weekend.
The VT100 does not publish race maps and runners are not allowed to pre-run the course.
The 100-kilometer course features 9,000 feet of total ascent over approximately 41 miles of rolling dirt roads, 20 miles of horse trails, and 1 mile of pavement. There are no major climbs, but boy are there plenty of little ones!
Join us on Silver Hill Meadow in historic West Windsor, VT.

This is a well known ultramarathon, arguably one of the oldest in the country. It was very well organized. The race director (Amy Rusiecki) and committee are obviously very experienced. The aid stations and volunteers were all energetic and cheerful, providing the much-needed morale boost to struggling runners. The atmosphere this year was magical and exciting as it marks the return of Vermont 100 after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
This is a very runnable course. You don’t need trail running shoes. This year’s 100-km course was slightly altered and had 12,000 ft of climbing compared to 8,000 ft in the previous years. Not sure if this is a permanent change. Plenty of food and drinks at the finish line area, while you recuperate and watch the 100 milers cross the finish line.
This is a magical event!
