Blue Square 5kish (5.6k/3.5 miles)

With a little under 700 ft (200 meters) in elevation gain, this is the perfect balance of trail running/hill running.   A perfect quad burner for those that want to push the limits or a perfect trail run with unmatched views for the beginner or not-so-competitive runner.  Yes, this course longer than 5k (more race for your $$….you’re welcome)

Green Circle 5k

While this is the easiest 5k we offer & we are confident that anyone can do it, keep in mind, that we ARE on a ski mountain.  There is no way to avoid hills, but we tried to make it as flat as possible.  As our “flattest” race mostly on wide, groomed trails, this is a great race to test out your speed OR make this your first trail race experience.

Can’t decide?
Run ALL 3 for $45! until Jan 5

Jan 6 – April 15 = $60
April 16- July 15 = $75
$90 Thereafter

Swag sold separately.  HOWEVER, you do earn your “I ran all 3 5k’s” bragging award.  Go to our award desk after you complete all 3.

Each race is 1 hour apart starting at 8:30.  If it takes you longer than 1 hour, just let our  timer know (we will probably know) when you finish, get some fuel, then go on your way for the next race whewn you are ready.  The races are chip timed so your time doesn’t start or end until you cross the mat. You CAN do this!  I mean, if you are going to drive all the way to Jay Peak….might as well run all 3!  Don’t forget that every registrant gets a discount code for the hotels….so might as well stay on Friday & Saturday night so you are well rested too!
