2027 Vermont 100 Endurance Race (36th anniversary)

On the calendar
The date is set. Entry has not opened. Confirmed current on the live vermont100.com homepage banner as of this research (Aug 2026): dates, distances, start times, field cap and horse-ride co-running. Detailed 2027 registration mechanics, aid-station chart and event schedule were NOT yet published -- the site explicitly states registration/requirements info will be updated in fall 2026 and the aid-station list in summer 2027. This file's aid-station chart, cutoffs, crew rules and driving directions are therefore sourced to the 2026 edition's Google Sheet chart and Runner Handbook (the most recent published versions) as the best available reference for 2027, since the site states the course itself does not change year to year (private-land route, same start/finish) even though exact station locations 'may vary slightly by year.' See _meta.notes.

Free, and always will be. NavRun makes money from race-day planning for runners who want it, never from this. Ultras change constantly, sometimes the morning of. Always confirm with the race director and the official website before you rely on anything here.

The course

Starts at Silver Hill Meadow and runs ~6.2 miles (marked with lavender plates) to Lillian's Aid Station, where it joins the 100-mile course; from Lillian's to the finish the two courses are identical, including passing through Camp 10 Bear twice. Finishes at Silver Hill Meadow. Roughly 41 miles of rolling dirt roads, 20 miles of horse trails, and 1 mile of pavement. Runs concurrently with the Vermont 100 Endurance Ride (horses) and the 100-mile race.

"Gravel / Trail / Jeep road / Paved" composition published as "66.5% / 32% / 1.5%" -- same 4-label/3-number inconsistency as the 100-mile source. In plain distance terms: ~41 mi rolling dirt roads, ~20 mi horse trails, ~1 mi pavement.

The race

What this one is

A 100-mile and 100-kilometer trail and dirt-road ultramarathon at Silver Hill Meadow in West Windsor, Vermont, run concurrently with a 100-mile endurance horse ride on the same course -- the only remaining U.S. 100-mile race to do so. Roughly 17,000 ft of climbing on rolling dirt roads and horse trails, no single long climb. Part of the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. All race proceeds benefit Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports, the race's founding nonprofit beneficiary.

Began in the late 1960s as a horse endurance ride; became a competitive horse race in the late 1970s, starting/finishing at Cloudland Farm in Woodstock, VT (near today's Pretty House aid station, ~mile 21). The ride lapsed in the late 1980s. Laura Farrell founded Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports in 1987. Steve and Dinah Rojek of Smoke Rise Farm re-established the ride in 1988, and in 1989 Farrell -- already the first woman to complete both a 100-mile ride and a 100-mile run (1982) -- joined Steve Rojek in adding a running race alongside it: 114 runners started the first VT100 run. The race outgrew Smoke Rise Farm and moved to its current home, Silver Hill Meadow in West Windsor, VT, in 2004. A 100-kilometer running event was added in 2008. In 2017 VT100 became the first trail ultra to formally recognize visually- and mobility-impaired runners in their own Athletes With Disabilities (AWD) award category; a neurodiverse AWD category (autism, TBI, PTSD, and related conditions) was added in 2025. Race directors: Laura Farrell, then Jim Hutchinson, then his daughter Julia Hutchinson, then current RD Amy Rusiecki. It is one of the original U.S. 100-milers and part of the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning (with Western States 100, Leadville Trail 100, and Wasatch Front 100).

Crew rules
Identical crew system to the 100-mile: 1 vehicle per runner, mandatory Crew Vehicle Pass, aid only at designated stations, follow published driving directions. vermont100.com
Pacer rules
Same rules as the 100-mile. A pacer may join only after the runner's second pass through Camp 10 Bear (~mile 32 for the 100K), except runners over 60 may pace at any time. vermont100.com
Drop bag rules
Same 8-station list as the 100-mile (Pretty House and Lincoln Covered Bridge are on the shared 100-mile-only opening miles, so not reachable by 100K runners; in practice 100K runners can use Camp 10 Bear x2, Margaritaville, Spirit of 76, Bill's, and Polly's). vermont100.com
Cutoff philosophy
Same non-negotiable leaving-time cutoff structure as the 100-mile. Overall limit is 25 hours: runners must reach the finish by 10:00am Sunday (same finish-line closing time as the 100-mile, but a 9am vs 4am start). vermont100.com
