REGISTER

Race Mozey will be partnering with Vermont Adaptive and presenting the Krampuslauf 50K, 10K, and 5K at Suicide Six ski resort in Pomfret VT on December 11, 2021.

The race will consist of trails throughout the ski resort where there will be a 5 K loop ending at the top of the mountain and runners will take the ski lift back down.

There will also be a 10K loop which will continue up and down the mountain.

50K runners will do the 10K loop 5 times.

Since the weather can be unpredictable this time of year, this event is open to the possibility of straight trail running, micro spikes, or even snow shoes.

Exact information weather conditions will come out two weeks prior to the race but don’t worry, there will be snow shoe rentals on site if needed.
The elevation for each length are:
5K 1200’ of gain
10K 2000’ of gain

VT50 Sunday-We Miss You ALL Today

We ALL Wish We Could Be Together Today

Right about now our first Mountain Bikers would be crossing the finish line. Our volunteers would be welcoming them and handing out water and race medals.

23rd Annual Vermont 50 Mountain Bike or Ultra Run

26th Annual Vermont 50 Mountain Bike or Ultra Run Race Day

We are also thinking about Vermont Adaptive and how COVID-19 has affected their funding. We hope some of you will join us today and get OUTDOORS and raise some money for our favorite group of people-Vermont Adaptive-staff, volunteers and clients!

Like this crew from Chester Vermont-the Chester50 out riding today.

Vermont 50 proudly supports Vermont Adaptive. In our 28 years, we have raised over 2 million dollars to help support this organization.

There are two options to help support Vermont Adaptive during this COVID-19 pandemic

Option 1: We are asking people to raise (or donate) $500 before December 31, 2020 using the link I will provide to you and you will receive:

● one free race entry for the 2021 race
● lunch for 4 at our post race BBQ
● one commemorative t-shirt-made specifically for our fundraisers

Remember this fundraising option will close on December 31, 2020. For more info contact Race Director, Mike

Option two: commit to raise a minimum $500 before September 7, 2021 at noon ET, you can avoid our race open registration rush on May 25th and will be entered into the race by the Race Director.
Your $500 must be received by Sept. 7, 2021 or you will not be able to race with us on the last Sunday of September.

You must contact the Race Director, Mike before May 25 at 7 p.m. if you’d like to choose this option.
