This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Race to the Top of Vermont,
an annual fundraiser for the Catamount Trail Association.
Every August, the Delta Dental Race To The Top Of Vermont draws hikers, bikers, and runners from across the U.S. and Canada to climb Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. Our course ascends the historic Mansfield Toll Road – 4.3 miles in length and 2,564 feet of up!
For some, it’s all about trying to achieve a fast time on this challenging course. For others, it's about coming together at this fun summer event to support the Catamount Trail Association, test themselves as a solo participant or as part of a team, and enjoy the spectacular views!
Race To The Top might be a challenge, but this event is for everyone! Join us on Sunday, August 30th for an experience you won’t soon forget!
