Event Spotlight: TAM Trek

By | 2018-07-03T02:18:45+00:00 July 3rd, 2018|Events|

  1. Tell us about your event. What is it? What makes it special?   The Middlebury Area Land Trust started building the now 19-mile Trail Around Middlebury (TAM) in 1989. At present it encircles the village of Middlebury, traveling through Cornwall, Weybridge, and New Haven. It links nearly 1,000 acres of public and conserved lands. The trail traverses Chipman Hill with vistas of the Green Mountains and Adirondacks, local farmlands, old-growth forests along Otter Creek, the stunning Gorge at Belden Falls, and many bucolic Vermont scenes.  It really captures the character of Vermont landscapes and takes place in the fall, just in time for the first turning of the leaves!   2. What’s the purpose of the event? Is it a for-profit venture, is there [...]

2018 Salomon Snowcross Relays

By | 2018-01-14T06:09:18+00:00 January 14th, 2018|Events, Race Report|

This past weekend we spent Saturday afternoon helping the Catamount Ultra Events crew at the Salomon Snowcross Relays which were held on the beautiful trails of the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT. Snowcross is a unique combination of nordic skiing and trail running that's popular in Europe, but doesn't exist here in the U.S... Yet! Being a relatively new event format, we really weren't sure what to expect.  Now, the official title for the event is "Salomon Snowcross Relays", and you might assume that as a relay you'd be required to compete with a partner. But... You'd be wrong. Individuals were welcome to compete on their own, and a more appropriate title might be "Snowcross Duathlon" or just "Snowcross".  This particular event had [...]

  The last couple of season's Salomon has been testing out a pretty awesome race format called Snowcross. Snowcross combines running and XC skiing into one fun and exciting event. Since this type of event is so new here in the U.S. and because there is a Snowcross race taking place on Saturday, January 6th at the Trapp Family Lodge... We sat down with Will Robens from Catamount Ultra Events to learn more!       So tell us about your upcoming event? What is snowcross?

New Snowcross Event At The Trapp Family Lodge

By | 2017-11-29T03:54:41+00:00 November 29th, 2017|Events|

Our friends over at Catamount Ultra Events are partnering with with Salomon to host a Snowcross Relay at the Trapp Family Lodge on Saturday, January 6th! This is a fun event where skiers can try winter trail running, and runners can try nordic skiing... Or do both! You can compete as an individual or as a team of two on a short (2.5k run/2.5k ski) or long (5k run/5k ski) course.  We have to say... This event looks like a lot of fun. We love running, but we also like to ski, and combining these two things seems like a recipe for a great time.  Click Here To Learn More & To Register
