- Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run
The Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run ("Vermont 100") is a 100 mile (162 km) long ultramarathon held annually in July at Silver Hill Meadow in West Windsor, Vermont. It is one of the four 100 mile races that comprise the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. It is also the only known ultra race in the USA where entrants run alongside horses over the same course, in a separate but simultaneous race.
The Course
The majority of the course runs on dirt roads with the remainder on hiking trails and a few miles of pavement. There is up to 15,000 feet of elevation gain and loss.
In 2007 the men's division winner was Andy Jones-Wilkins, and the women's division winner was Mary Churchill.
In 2006 the winner in the men's division was Dean Karnazes and the women's division winner was Beverley Anderson-Abbs with the all-time women's record for the Vermont 100's current course. The course record for men on the current course was set by Leigh R. Schmitt in 2004. The Vermont 100 used to follow a different course, and keeps separate records for the old and new courses.
Current course records are:
