36-hour any distance, any surface ride/run/hike/walk takes place this weekend
With trails closed and so many of our favorite events cancelled or postponed it’s been too easy to focus on all of the wrong things. So, in an effort to help us all stay connected and motivated during these crazy times, and maybe do a little good, the Catamount Trail Association and Ironwood Adventure Works have teamed up to bring you a one of a kind virtual challenge, the Shelter In Pace: Virtualtramarathon — a 36-hour, any distance, any surface, ride/run/hike/walk.
Here’s how it works. You register for $20. Five of those dollars go straight into a prize pool that will be distributed via raffle in $100 increments. The remainder will be divided equally between the Vermont Community Foundation Covid Response Fund and the Catamount Trail Association. Raffle entries are earned by completing a predetermined distance. If you are running, hiking, or walking every 5km earns you one raffle ticket. If you are cycling one ticket is earned for every 15km you complete. The more you do the more chances you have to win. It’s as simple as that.
The event will start at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, and will end at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 17. During this period you can run, walk, hike, or bike as much and as far as you’d like … or can. Final distance totals will need to be submitted by midnight on May 17. Then on Monday, May 18 the prize purse will be raffled off in $100 increments, as well as some awesome swag from UnTapped and Skirack.
