Westmore Mountain Challenge

The Westmore Mountain Challenge is a one-day, 26-mile trail running and hiking event in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, featuring five mountains: Moose, Hor, Pisgah, Haystack, and Bald. Participants traverse rugged public trails with a cumulative elevation gain of about 6,142 feet, enjoying spectacular autumn scenery. The course includes steep terrain, multiple water and aid stations, and shuttle-supported drop-offs.

Options for shorter distances and a full marathon-length route are available. The event emphasizes sustainable trail use, community, and conservation, with proceeds supporting local trail maintenance and youth stewardship programs. A post-event celebration with food and awards is held at the NorthWoods Lodge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
