About the WMC

“The most spectacular (and challenging) trail run in Vermont.” – VTSports.com


This community focused mountain marathon traverses 5 mountains—Moose, Hor, Pisgah, Haystack, and Bald—on some of the Northeast Kingdom's most popular trails in peak fall foliage. This event is put on by and proceeds support the nonprofit NorthWoods Stewardship Center whose youth and adult crews have helped steward the trails, waterways, and forests of the region for over 35 years.

The Trails & Distances

The course consists of primarily single track hiking trails, interspersed with dirt road connectors for the first 21 miles. The last 5 miles of the full marathon are a combination of dirt and paved road.
We have two timed distances, full marathon length, and a 20 mile (trail only) option. Folks can also plan to finish halfway at the 12.3 mile mark at the lunch station, but we do not collect times for this length.
