Vermont 100 Endurance Race

Getting there

Silver Hill Meadow (West Windsor, VT) is the start/finish. Roads on/around the course close to non-race traffic for the weekend -- use the driving directions below, not GPS; several roads are impassable or off-limits to protect the race's private-land access agreements.

From I-91 South (from MA): Exit 8, right onto Rt 131 East, left onto Rt 5 North ~1.2mi, bear left onto Rt 44A ~2.8mi, bear left onto Rt 44 West ~2.6mi into Brownsville, right onto Brownsville-Hartland Rd ~2.2mi, left onto Silver Hill Rd ~1.7mi, bear right at the triangle.

Parking & general crew rules

- Park only as directed by race personnel; no parking on public roads or in private driveways.
- Enter high, exit low in any field parking -- fields can be soggy.
- One crew vehicle per runner, and it must display its Crew Vehicle Pass (issued at bib pickup) to access any crew station -- no pass, no access.
- Crew-access stations only: Pretty House, Lincoln Covered Bridge, Camp 10 Bear (both passes), Margaritaville, Spirit of 76, Bill's, Polly's, and the Finish. Being at any other aid station as crew is prohibited, as is aiding a runner from a vehicle anywhere else.
- No pacer parking at Camp 10 Bear, Spirit of 76, or Bill's -- a free shuttle runs from Silver Hill Meadow for pacers instead.
- Speed limit on unmarked dirt roads is 30 mph; slow down near runners and horses, and don't litter (crews are historically the biggest offenders!).

Drop bags

Available at 8 stations for unaccompanied runners: Pretty House, Lincoln Covered Bridge, Camp 10 Bear (both passes), Margaritaville, Spirit of 76, Bill's, and Polly's. Bags must be soft-sided, under 9"x9"x16", labeled with bib #/name/station, and dropped off at Registration by 5:30 PM Friday.

Quick links to each crew-accessible station's approximate location -- useful for orienting yourself or dropping into a nav app. These are pins, not routes: follow the written driving directions below for the actual approved route, since several direct-looking roads are closed to crew traffic or impassable.
