Notice

Unfortunately, the Green Mountain Relay will not be held this year, nor are their plans to hold it again. Registration simply did not come anywhere close to meeting our expectations, and the event would not have lived up to them as a result. If you are a team captain and have not received an email regarding your refund, please email theteam@greenmountainrelay.com.


Leg Ratings

Each leg’s rating is based only on the elevation gain or loss as the mileage speaks for itself. However, the “Overall Difficulty Rating” does take into account both the mileage and each leg’s terrain, but not what time of day or night that leg might be run, or whether it is the first, second, or third leg.

Please keep in mind that this is the race director’s opinion – please look at the maps of each leg as the distance and the profile are supplied for you to make your own determination.

See below Standard leg ratings for supplemental Ultra ratings.

*Legs 1 – 3 are estimates as route will be moving to the newly completed Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. However, the trail largely parallels the existing route.
