New England’s Best Trail Race – Peak Foliage For Runners And Mountain Bikers

Larry Olmsted ,  CONTRIBUTOR

25 years ago, about a hundred hardy runners lined up in the pre-dawn hours to tackle fifty miles of rugged Vermont trails and scenic dirt roads. No one knew how popular the race – or trail/ultra-running – would become.

As it prepares to celebrate a quarter of a century as a premier annual fundraiser for Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports (VASS), a charity that helps those with disabilities experience outdoor recreation, the Vermont 50 has become one of the most popular races of its kind in the nation. That’s because there are a few big advantages that set it apart from other long distance trail running and mountain biking events.
