Vermont 100k Course Description - 2012

By Zeke Zucker

The course starts on the road up at the top of Silver Hill Meadow. Runners will have to walk 3/10 mi. up the hill to the start at the intersection of Silver Hill Rd. and Bryant Rd.  The first 4.7 mi. is on gravel roads, including a noticeable climb up Morgan Hill from 3.1 to 3.5 mi.  Then plenty of down to Rte. 106 (paved) for 0.9 miles to Lillian's aid station at 5.6 miles. From this point you follow the same exact route as the 100 Milers.

You can go to the 100 Mile Course Description and read about the rest of the course from the 43.5 mark.  For any given mileage mark just subtract 37.9 miles to determine your mileage point.
