Catamount Ultra

Catamount Ultra

The Catamount Ultra is a trail running event at the Trapp Family Lodge trail system near Stowe, Vermont, held on June 26, 2027. The event limits entries to 600 participants and offers two distances that use the lodge's maintained trails at the foot of Mount Mansfield.

The 25k course is primarily wide, hard-packed dirt trail that rolls through highland pastures and hardwood forest and passes active maple sugar tap lines. The 50k consists of two 25k loops. Each 25k loop contains approximately 2,500 feet of elevation gain and 2,500 feet of elevation loss, for about 5,000 feet total gain and loss on the 50k.

Aid stations are located at miles 4.6, 9.4, and at the start/finish area; 25k runners will access two stations while on course. The race is cup free to reduce disposable waste; runners are encouraged to carry hydration and personal fueling. A designated area at the start/finish will hold drop bags for 50k runners. Basic first aid supplies will be available and volunteer caregivers will be based at the start/finish, but aid stations may not have medical staff.

Racer crews and spectators may access the course, though vehicle access is available only at the start/finish. Participants and guests who enter the trail system will be asked to purchase a day use trail pass. Dogs are not allowed on Von Trapp property.
