Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Vermont 100 Endurance Race requires sustaining forward momentum across 160.9 kilometers of trail and country road while managing 5,182 meters of accumulated elevation gain.
Ultra-distance durability
Covering 160.9 kilometers demands exceptional muscular and structural resilience to withstand hours of continuous impact and fatigue.
Climbing economy
Accumulating 5,182 meters of elevation across unrelenting rollers requires strict pacing discipline to conserve energy on ascents and protect quads on descents.
Thermoregulation
Racing in July exposes athletes to summer heat and humidity, making aggressive hydration and cooling management essential for survival.
Given the duration of this event, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour alongside sufficient fluids to sustain energy output.
