Half Marathon versenyek Winooski közelében

The von Trapp Mountain Marathon, a half and full marathon trail race, is held in Vermont’s Green Mountains, starting at Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. The race takes place in October, coinciding with the peak of fall foliage on the lodge’s trail system and local Oktoberfest festivities. The course features a blend of narrow singletrack and rugged dirt and gravel roads. Each loop involves approximately 1,900 feet of elevation gain and loss. Participants ascend Round Top Mountain, including some scrambling near the peak, with views extending towards Mount Mansfield. The final 4 miles of the course are downhill. The full marathon consists of two loops, totaling about 3,800 feet of climbing, and all participants must finish by the 4 p.m. cutoff.

This year marks the 4th annual edition. The course kicks off and finishes at the Plattsburgh City Beach, behind the Crete Center. After crossing the finish line, stick around for the Lake City Running Festival's after-party. It's open to everyone, with a suggested $5 donation for non-athletes. You'll find live music, food, beer/wine, cornhole, and raffles. Strollers, baby joggers, or pets cannot be accommodated.
