Sugarworks 5K/10K Trail Run

The 2022 5K and 10K will follow the same route. The 10K will just do the loop twice. Click here to view the map.

LATE CHANGE: There will be NO pre-race pick up for this race. Check in will be open at 7:00 am at Shelburne Sugarworks. See you there!

This race will have a mass start at 8:00 am. 

There will be NO parking at Shelburne Sugarworks in order to allow for plenty of space around racers and their fans. Instead, there will be ample parking just east of Shelburne Sugarworks at the practice fields for the Buccaneers. Look for the Shelburne Sugarworks sign at the entrance to the field. It's only a 4-minute walk to the sugarhouse from this parking lot, but please be careful walking. Walk as close to the edge of the road and stay alert. Directions to the race can be found near the bottom of this page.

Preliminary race results will be uploaded to RunSignUp during the course of the race. Please do not disturb the timing team during the race so that they can focus on producing accurate results. You will also receive an email after the race with your results. If you have any questions about timing, please email nick@racevermont.com.

An awards ceremony will be held immediately after the race. First, second, and third place overall male and female winners of both the 5K and the 10K trail runs will each win a prize. These winners are disqualified from winning an age group award.

Age group winners will receive an "Age Group Winner" pint glass.

Immediately following your finish, present your race bib to Shelburne Sugarworks for a free, DELICIOUS, hand crafted maple ice cream cone. They'll punch the bib and return it to you. You may want to bring some extra money if you'd like to purchase syrup or any of their other maple goodies (or a pint of ice cream to take home).

We are pleased to offer a finisher medal for all finishers of this race. T-shirts are available at time of registration for $19.  T-shirts are a super soft cotton/poly blend in both men's and women's sizes.

Should this race get cancelled due to extreme weather or by order of the governor or other government official, you will have the option to either defer your registration to next year's Sugarworks Trail Run, or transfer to another Racevermont.com race of equal or lesser distance. We do not offer refunds for unattended races regardless of who cancels the race, and transfers/deferrals will only be offered in the event that this race is cancelled.
