From the Organizer
In its 23rd year, TAM Trek is a trail race and fun run to raise money for the Trail Around Middlebury (TAM) in Middlebury, VT. This trail is a 19-mile long footpath, encircling the village of Middlebury and linking several hundred acres of town land, conserved properties, schools, and other local landmarks. Race distances start and finish at Wright Park in Middlebury, Vermont.
The 19 mile race course travels the entire TAM through the towns of Middlebury, Cornwall, New Haven, and Weybridge, VT. The trail is scenic, rolling, and includes incredible views of the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondacks to the west. 19-mile race departs at 7:30 AM.
The 10K course is entirely on single-track trail through Wright Park and the Otter Creek Gorge Loop (trail maps available at www.maltvt.org), with around 400 feet of elevation gain and several fairly technical sections. 10k race departs at 9 AM.
The 5K course is a challenging combination of wide and single track trail. It takes place entirely in Wright Park, looping from the southern entrance to Belden Falls and back. 5k race departs at 9:15 AM.
The 2 mile fun run is family-friendly and includes walkers and runners alike. The course follows Otter Creek and is entirely on trail. It highlights the best parts of Wright Park and is popular for families with young children and those who enjoy walking. We welcome dogs on leash! Fun run departs at 9:30 AM.
