RUTFest

October 31st 2026
Williston, VT
36 Hours

Welcome to the RUTFest (Richmond Ultra Trail Festival) - a weekend devoted to running and hiking local trails with our community. This 36-hour "race" includes two different 3-4 mile trail loops at Catamount, with gorgeous views of Camel's Hump and Mansfield. These two loops are run on repeat, whenever you want. This ultra event is "fat-ass" style - a relaxed, low-key, adventure run, for the community and not for competition. This is the weekend to run (or walk) further than you ever have before.

Entry fee- donation based. We want this to be an inclusive event and don’t want money to keep anyone from enjoying the trails, the event, or the community.
How much should you donate? We've got a variety of suggestions. Donate what feels fair to you for a 36-hour event (+1 bonus hour for Daylight Savings Time!). There are add-on donation options if you'd like to donate more to the organization of your choice. If a donation is out of your capability, please email [email protected] and we'll get you set up with a free voucher.

Registered participants will receive event updates and info by email. All participants will be asked to sign up for a 1-hour volunteer shift at the aid station as well as donate a snack to the aid station.
