The Vermont 50 Race Committee wants every participant to have a safe, successful race—and, most importantly, make it to the finish!
Please remember: All runners and mountain bikers must be at the finish line by 6:30 PM.
This means participants must EXIT each aid station before its scheduled closing time in order to stay on pace to finish by 6:30 PM.
Runners we’ve compiled a Plan for getting
you to the finish line before 6:30 PM
View the Plan
The Vermont 50 is a challenging course,
and maintaining an overall average pace of 14:24 minutes per mile requires some planning.
Two major factors contribute to the course difficulty: elevation gain and singletrack terrain.
50-Mile Runners
To make the 6:30 PM finish cutoff, 50-mile runners must maintain an average pace of approximately 14.24 minutes per mile throughout the course.
50K Runners
50K runners have 10.5 hours to complete the course and must arrive at the finish by 6:30 PM. Plan on maintaining an average pace of 20 minutes per mile.
Please plan your race accordingly and pay close attention to the aid station closing times; which will be updated and posted soon.
If you arrive at an aid station after it has closed, you will not be able to continue on the course.
We want to see you cross that finish line! Know your pace, watch the clock, and plan ahead. Good luck, and we’ll see you at the Vermont 50!
