Description
This is a classic Racevermont.com race limited to only 200 racers which, understandably, sells out year after year. The course is a combination of gravel paths (not loose), wooded and field trails, and dirt roads and it will take you from the Coach Barn, to the wood lot, out past a sugar house, beautiful fields, through the woods, and back around past the Swiss Brown Cow barn and the historic Shelburne Inn. Registration includes a finishers medal. This race is exclusive to Racevermont.com
T-shirts are available to pre-order while supplies last.
