About Vermont Overland TRAIL

We got our start by believing in the transformative power of all-surface exploration. It’s the best way to race, run, ride, and ultimately experience a landscape. This is our first running-specific event and it certainly won’t be our last.

This is not a half marathon. This is not an Ultra. It’s something completely different. Challenge yourself over 15 miles and close to 2,500ft across an all-surface course covering the best of the best in West Windsor, VT.

This event raises funds for both Ascutney Outdoors and Ascutney Trails Association.
