The Slate Valley Scramble is a trail running race that features an 8K, half marathon, and kid’s fun run. The race takes place on some of VT's newest and best single & double-track trails on Slate Valley Trails’ network in Poultney, Vermont. This race is also one of SVT's biggest annual fundraisers! By signing up to race or volunteer, you are supporting SVT's GRAND MISSION.
Join Slate Valley Trails (SVT) on Saturday, August 12, 2023 for the fourth annual Slate Valley Scramble trail run race and fundraiser! Trail runners can choose from an 8k and half-marathon, which will be held entirely on singletrack and double-track trails here in beautiful southwestern Vermont. A free kids fun run will take place following both events to encourage the whole family to get out and enjoy SVT’s trails.
Races will offer runners a well-maintained, variable terrain, wooded course consisting of primarily single-track trail. While both courses will have some flat terrain and rolling hills, there will be hills and a few sustained climbs. Runners will be rewarded with occasional stunning views of Vermont’s "Slate Valley". Join us for what is sure to be a fun day in the Vermont woods!
Online registration is now open and will remain open until 8/9/2023 at 5pm.
If you are interested in being a part of the event, but not interested in racing, sign up to volunteer!
Our volunteers are integral to the success of the event. All volunteers will receive a free event t-shirt when they register online.
