The Trapp Cabin Trail Races bring runners into the rarely open trail network of the von Trapp Family Outdoor Center, just outside Stowe. Organized by Green Mountain Adaptive Sports, this race weekend offers 5K, 10K, and a scenic Trail Half Marathon, each course winding through private single-track and track loops not accessible year‑round.
🏃 Course & Runner Experience
Starting at 9:00 AM, all distances follow Sugar Road into Russel Knoll Track. The 10K continues via Chris’s Run, Growler, Tapline, and Lodge Spur before finishing at the Outdoor Center. The Half Marathon doubles the 10K loop for a 10.5 km circuit repeated twice. The 5K branches via Old County Road then rejoins Tapline to complete the circuit. Bib pickup opens at 7:30 AM, and on-site late registration closes at 8:55 AM via the Run The Day app.
🎗 Community & Purpose
As a major fundraiser for Green Mountain Adaptive Sports, the event combines trail running access with social impact. Proceeds support adaptive veterans and youth programs. Participants receive a participation medal, and top finishers earn special rewards—like Darn Tough socks. Post-race refreshments and a medal ceremony round out the experience.
With usually 150–200 half‑marathon participants, limited trail access, and low-key festival energy, this race is perfect for trail lovers seeking scenic loops and small-community vibes in the Green Mountains.
