Runamuck 50k (50K) - Apr 11, 2026 | Woodstock, VT

The Runamuck 50k, returning on April 11, 2026, invites ultrarunners to tackle a challenging 50-kilometer course through the scenic, hilly dirt roads of South Pomfret, Vermont. Beginning and ending at the Saskadena Six ski area, this race is renowned for its demanding terrain and the unpredictable character of Vermont spring weather. Runners can expect approximately 27 miles of undulating dirt roads and about 4 miles of pavement, featuring a significant 3,726 feet of vertical gain as the course climbs and dips through forested backroads, past beautiful farms and sweeping pastures. Footing can vary, with the possibility of mud, puddles, and soft ground, adding to the grit required to complete this event.

Typical race day conditions in early April include highs around 54°F and lows around 30°F, with a 14% chance of precipitation. However, the Runamuck 50k is famed for Mother Nature's potential to deliver wind, rain, mud, or even snow, truly testing a runner's resolve. With an 8-hour cutoff, this tough course demands both physical endurance and mental fortitude. Runners will find support at two fully stocked aid stations, located around miles 12 and 23, offering water, soda, PB&J, bananas, oranges, and salty snacks, with an additional water stop near mile 6.

The Runamuck 50k offers an engaging atmosphere for those who relish adversity and a true test of grit. Finishers receive their choice of a wooden medal or a stainless logo cup, and all participants will receive socks from event sponsor Farm to Feet Socks. Top male and female finishers are awarded Runamuck hardware, while the top three overall, the oldest male and female, and the last-place finisher also earn Runamuck hoodies. This event, which overlaps with portions of the Vermont 100 mile course, promises a memorable and challenging experience for all who toe the line.
