Trapp Cabin Trail Races:
5 K, 10 K and half marathon

Sunday, Sept 17, 2023

The Trapp Cabin Trail Races are held annually at the beautiful Trapp Family Outdoor Center in Stowe, Vt. This perennial favorite is a great opportunity to try out trail running, to look for your personal best, or put the pedal down and go for the gold. It is also an important fundraiser for our non-profit organization.

Race Description

All racers follow Sugar Road and proceed onto Russel Knoll Track. The 10 K runners continue on Chris’s Run to the Cabin, following the single-tracks Growler, Tapline, and Lodge Spur to the finish. Half marathoners repeat the 10 K loop. The 5 K runners divert onto Old County Road joining Tapline and Lodge Spur to the finish.

The half-marathon is by far our most popular race and attracts over 200 racers from all over New England. The course does a double-loop of the 10.5K and offers runners a perfect opportunity to train for the upcoming Trapp Mountain Marathon. These beautiful trails are not accessible to the general public so this is a special opportunity to run in a unique location.
