Trail Conditions & Course Details
The trails have been quite wet all week but with a couple of drier days heading into the weekend we expect there to be overall good trail conditions, with only sections of mud and small stream crossings. The single track has all been leaf blown, but there are lots of roots and rocks and some wooden bridges so you will need to take care with your footing – it is a trail race after all!

Temperatures are forecast to be warmer on Sunday than in recent days so please prepare accordingly. NOAA Richmond, VT weather
Please Consider Carpooling
Vermont has a lot of very useful and convenient Park & Rides. Even if you can’t carpool for the entire trip to Cochran’s Ski Area you could set up a partial carpool by arranging to meet fellow racers at a Park & Ride en route.
