The Hardest Race Anyone Can Do
Every August the Northeast Delta Dental Race To The Top Of Vermont draws hikers, bikers, and runners from across the U.S. and Canada to climb Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. Our course ascends the historic Mansfield Toll Road, is 4.3 miles in length, and has 2564 feet of up. For some it’s all about trying to achieve a fast time on this challenging course. For others… they come to support the Catamount Trail Association, to test themselves, and to enjoy the spectacular views.
All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
