The 15th edition of the Trapp Cabin Trail races was a great success last Sunday, September 21. The annual event brings the community together for a scenic run while supporting the important work of Green Mountain Adaptive Sports in making sports accessible for everyone in our greater community.
The annual event attracts runners from all over New England, and beyond! This year, 117 racers competed in the 5km, 10km, or the Half Marathon, including 12 students of the Stowe Middle School cross-country team. All ran under perfect conditions at the von Trapp Family Outdoor Center in Stowe, Vermont.
Eric LiPuma won the half marathon with a time of 1:30.13.
The morning was cool and comfortable, and blue skies were also on the agenda for the trail run as racers lined up for the 9 am mass start.
Tucker Murphy, 43 of Stowe, VT, clocked the fastest time in the 5km with a 28.27. Cate Copeland, 14, also of Stowe, VT captured the ladies’ top step with an impressive time of 28.51.
In the 10km, Jenny Garner of Santa Cruz, CA was the fastest racer with a time of 41.38 while Neal Graves of Waterbury, VT came in second with a 48.09.
In the Half Marathon, Eric LiPuma of Richmond, VT had the last word over last year’s winner Jeremy Huckins of Waterbury, VT with a blazing 1:30.13.
