From the Organizer
Welcome to the inaugural Stowe 100 mile/24 hour Maple Women’s Endurance Race. I am delighted to have you as a participant in this race and hope it is a WONDERFUL experience for all of us!
This is an invitational race for 50 (fifty) experienced or new ultramarathoners who want a logistically easy 100 mile race or 24 hour race. This premier women's only 100 mile race will have a 32 hour time limit with extensive support on a fairly flat/fast race course on the paved ~5.3 mile Stowe Recreation Trail (during the day) that follows the “west branch” a lovely river that flows through Stowe, VT. And a ~3 mile portion of the Stowe Recreation Trail starting 8 p.m. which will not have any street crossings.
The 100 mile race starts at 5 a.m. on Friday morning and the smaller 24 hour race will have two start times: 5 a.m. or 1 p.m. on Friday to either start with the 100 miler or finish with the time limit of the 100 miler.
There will be a headquarters at the start finish/line and 1 miler down river will be another aid station at Riverside Inn. The longest section that may have limited aid during the day is 6 miles, while overnight aid and day 2 aid will be available less than 2 mile increments. Additionally every mile or so, there are publicly available water fountains and porta potties and during the day approximately 200 meters up a hill will have a bathroom with running water (despite the bonus miles the RD would be using this if a participant as she enjoys creature comforts...)
