Created for trail running novices and professionals alike, this North American trail running series provides unmatched racing experiences in beautiful mountain environments of three of the most iconic resort destinations in the United States, including Killington Resort.
Race course locations offer diverse climates, different distances and varying elevations, and terrain built to push athletes to find the edges of their potential.
The series will make a stop at Killington Resort, touting a peak elevation of 4,241 feet, and tucked in the Green Mountains of the Appalachians in Central Vermont.
Killington resort covers seven peaks offering an expansive trail running system.
What differentiates the UA Mountain Running Series is that courses in their entirety will take participants on off-beaten-paths of mountains in National Forests where runners will encounter everything from rocky paths in high alpine surroundings, forests of evergreens and aspens, to open meadows and mountain streams.
Each single race course presents a truly unique trail running experience for participants of all levels.
The Killington Resort UA Mountain Running stop will be a running festival unto itself, with cash prizes, exciting weekend-long resort activities, and post-race parties.
A $5,000 prize purse will be divided between the top three male and female 50K finishers.
