Join us as RaceVermont.com hits the trail in the 4th Annual Sugarworks Trail Run at Shelburne Sugarworks and Four Season Outdoor Center. Choose to run or run/walk the 5K, or run the 10K (two loops of the 5K). The course is rolling - mostly through the woods on the beautiful trail system that Shelburne Sugarworks, but there is also a portion around a pond and also through the fields surrounded by Queen Anne's lace. There are no huge uphill runs, but it's not totally flat. Racers can present their race bib at Shelburne Sugarworks for a free hand crafted maple ice cream cone. Flavors are to be determined on race day. There is a 2-hour limit for this race.
The 2022 5K and 10K will follow the same route. The 10K will just do the loop twice. Click here to view the map.
