Burlington周辺のMarathonレース

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.

RunVermont's Youth Running Programs, based in Burlington, Vermont, focus on children rather than adult racing. The series offers free youth races annually, alongside events like the M&T Bank Vermont City Two Mile and the Mini Marathon. RunVermont's objective is to foster running as a lifelong pursuit, with the youth program emphasizing a low-pressure introduction to the sport over developing young athletes. The Mini Milers program serves elementary school children, providing structure beyond race events. Participants meet weekly with leaders for exercise, learn about healthy habits and nutrition, establish goals, monitor their progress, and engage in community service. RunVermont also provides scholarships for youth events to ensure registration fees do not prevent participation.
