Special Run Edition (June 8)- We’re MAKING BUTTER!

We’re trying something a little different (and a little ridiculous) – trail running powered butter making.
The plan is simple: bring 1 cup heavy whipping cream and a pinch of salt in heavy-duty ziplock bags (double bag it!), tuck them into our running vests, and let the trails do the churning.
We’ll hang after to “enjoy” the butter – wine and bread will be provided.
Hope to see you there for what may be either a great success or a hilarious failure.

Distance: The route will vary weekly and may have two route options depending on the number of people. Expect a social pace (3-7 miles) with some elevation gain. There are options to cater to all abilities and shorten the route for anyone wanting to run a shorter distance.
Bring: plenty of water, snacks, bug spray, and an after run beverage of choice.Extreme weather and downpours will cancel! Check for updates on this event page.

Easy Does It Rail Trail Group Ride
2026-06-13 10:00 - 12:30 | West Pawlet, 825 N Pawlet Rd, West Pawlet, VT, United States
Come join us Saturday, June 13, 10:00 am, for a slow paced ride, on the scenic Delaware and Hudson Rail Trail. We’ll head south from West Pawlet, Vt. about five miles and turn back. Or, continuing on four more miles to Rupert will also be an option.
It’s a gentle grade up going out, and so it’s considerably easier coming back. The trail is mostly straight and goes through both wooded and open sections with beautiful vistas of farmland and mountains along the way. The surface is gravelly, so be sure to have appropriate tires.
E-Bikes are welcome!
Meet 10:00 am at the D&H parking lot in downtown West Pawlet by the monument.This will hopefully be the first of many group Rail Trail rides this summer.
