Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run


The Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run is a 100-mile long ultramarathon held annually in July at Silver Hill Meadow in West Windsor, Vermont. It is one of the five 100-mile races that comprise the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. It is also the only known ultra race in the USA where entrants run alongside horses over a similar course, in a separate but simultaneous race. The race has been held every year since 1989.

The majority of the course runs on dirt roads with the remainder on hiking trails and a few miles of pavement. There is up to 15,000 feet of elevation gain and loss.
