Infinitus Races

Prepare for an extraordinary trail running challenge at the Infinitus Races, set to unfold on May 30, 2026, in the heart of Ripton, Vermont. Offering a range of demanding distances including an 88K, a 26.2M marathon, and a rigorous 9M course, Infinitus is renowned as one of the Northeast's toughest trail events, promising an adventure like no other. This race is a true test of physical and mental fortitude, hosted by The Endurance Society amidst the stunning, yet unforgiving, Green Mountain National Forest.

The Infinitus course is ingeniously designed as a figure-eight, traversing the majestic Mount Moosalamoo and Romance Mountain. Runners will navigate very rough trails, featuring significant elevation changes, with the 88K course boasting a "Mountainous" 5 Elevation Rating. Expect a mix of single and double track, dirt roads, challenging climbs, and descents that can tax the quads, along with potential mud crossings and stream fords. Aid stations, though spaced to encourage self-sufficiency, are well-supported, particularly the main hub at Silver Towers, which serves as the start/finish area and a central point for runners. The scenery is spectacular, with dense Vermont wilderness and abundant wildlife providing a breathtaking backdrop to this demanding journey.

What truly sets Infinitus apart is its immersive "infinity" theme, reflected in the course's design and the spirit of the event. Held at Silver Towers, a unique residential camp, the race fosters a strong sense of community, with many participants opting to camp on-site. Typical race day conditions in late May bring comfortable highs around 72F and lows around 47F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, though runners should always be prepared for Vermont's variable mountain weather. This is more than just a race; it's an experience praised by runners for its beautiful yet challenging terrain and exceptional organization, leaving participants with lasting memories of pushing their limits in a truly supportive environment.
