Hello friends and family!  Thanks for taking the time to check out my fundraising page for Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, as I set out to conquer the Vermont 100 Endurance Race in 2019!

What is the Vermont 100 Endurance Race?

The Vermont 100 has one of the sport’s richest histories as one of America’s oldest 100 milers, and is part of the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. All proceeds support Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports.

Since 1989, endurance athletes have traveled from across the country and around the world to test their limits against the Vermont 100 Endurance Race.  Featuring unrelenting rollers that add up to 17,000 feet of climbing, the VT100 winds its way over country roads, through forested trails, and alongside breathtaking views of the southern Green Mountains.

How cool is that?!

I will tackle this epic ultra race while fundraising for a meaningful cause, in which all funds raised go to Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports!  

I want you to be part of this amazing mission and journey with me!

What is Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports?

There are people out there for whom just getting out to walk can be a challenge. People who need a little extra assistance to meet the challenge that brings health, fun and passion to their lives. Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports provides sports and recreational programs as well as wellness and environmental retreats to people with disabilities.

Their programs are offered to people of all ages, with a variety of disabilities. Programs include skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and Nordic in the winter; and sailing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, horseback riding, and more in the warmer months.

Your donation goes to some awesome Vermont Adaptive programming outlined on the next page!  PLUS I have some great bonuses for you below!

Why Vermont Adaptive?

The mission of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports is so important to me because it helps others enjoy the same health, fun, and passions that have been such an integral part of my life.

About Vin:

The VT 100 is one of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports biggest fund raisers every year. For more information about Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports: www.vermontadaptive.org.

The Vermont 100 Endurance Race is celebrating its 31st year!  While the Vermont 100 Endurance Ride is much older, the run portion was started by the same woman, Laura Farrell, who founded Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports. The VT 100 is put on every year by a committee of 30 dedicated volunteers who work year round, 500+ volunteers who come out for race weekend, more than 30 private land owners and many donors of funds, products or services. Monies raised from the event support the year-round programs offered by Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports.

The 100 mile course is a "shamrock" loop, consisting of 70% dirt or jeep roads with the rest on woods trails with just a couple miles of pavement. The course both climbs and descends 17,000 feet. Participants have 30 hours to complete the race and many strive to finish in less than 24 hours. In 2008 we added a 100 K course that uses almost all of the same trail, just cutting out the first of the shamrocks leaves.  The ride event offers a 100 mile course concurrent with the 100 mile run, as well as a 50 mile and 75 mile event that uses much of the same course.

All 100 Mile run participants must have completed a 50 mile race in 12 hours or less to qualify and every runner is required to volunteer for 8 hours at a running event or trail work to enter.

Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports is a nationally recognized organization that empowers of all abilities through inclusive sports and recreational programming regardless of ability to pay.
