The course is a 25-km trail loop through the backcountry hardwood forests of the Northern Taconic Mountains in Rupert, Vermont. The loop starts and ends on the working Merck Farm, and climbs and descends Mount Antone and The Gallop, the two highpoints in the area. Runners will be treated to plenty of elevation change on this mountainous course. 100K runners will complete the loop four times, and 50K runners twice. 

Late foliage, early snow, and unseasonable warm weather are all possible! It might be cold, wet, and/or windy, especially at night! There will be heated cabins along the course and a heated area at the start/finish to warm up!
