Hello friends and family!  Thanks for taking the time to check out my fundraising page for Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, as I set out to conquer the Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Race in 2022!

What is the Vermont 100 Endurance Race?

The VT100 is among the four oldest 100 mile races in the United States, the only remaining 100-miler that includes a concurrent horse race, and is a part of the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning.  How cool is that?   All funds raised thru my participation in this 100 mile race benefit Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports!  

I want you to be part of this amazing mission and journey with me!

What is Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports?

There are people out there for whom just getting out to walk can be a challenge. People who need a little extra assistance to meet the challenge that brings health, fun and passion to their lives. Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports provides sports and recreational programs as well as wellness and environmental retreats to people with disabilities. 

They’re programs are offered to people of all ages, with a variety of disabilities. Programs include skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and Nordic in the winter; and sailing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, horseback riding, and more in the warmer months.

Why Vermont Adaptive?

The mission of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports is so important to me because it helps others enjoy the same health, fun, and passions that have been such an integral part of my life.  

I am honored to be part of Team Run 2 Empower in order to empower others thru my training and racing, including empowering and inspiring our donors thru my journey to the VT100!

About Vin:

The Vermont 100 Endurance Race is celebrating its 32nd year!  While the Vermont 100 Endurance Ride is much older, the run portion was started by the same woman, Laura Farrell, who founded Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports. The VT 100 is put on every year by a committee of 30 dedicated volunteers who work year round, 500+ volunteers who come out for race weekend, more than 30 private land owners and many donors of funds, products or services. Monies raised from the event support the year-round programs offered by Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports.

The 100 mile course is a "shamrock" loop, consisting of 70% dirt or jeep roads with the rest on woods trails with just a couple miles of pavement. The course both climbs and descends 17,000 feet. Participants have 30 hours to complete the race and many strive to finish in less than 24 hours. In 2008 we added a 100 K course that uses almost all of the same trail, just cutting out the first of the shamrocks leaves.  The ride event offers a 100 mile course concurrent with the 100 mile run, as well as a 50 mile and 75 mile event that uses much of the same course.

All 100 Mile run participants must have completed a 50 mile race in 12 hours or less to qualify and every runner is required to volunteer for 8 hours at a running event or trail work to enter.

Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports is a nationally recognized organization that empowers people of all abilities through inclusive sports and recreational programming regardless of ability to pay. In addition to sports, year-round programming options integrate environmental, holistic wellness, and competitive training philosophies for people of all ages with cognitive, developmental, physical and emotional disabilities.

Vermont Adaptive serves clients of all abilities with physical, cognitive and emotional/behavioral disabilities from all over the world in three locations in Vermont during the winter – Killington Resort and Pico Mountain in Killington; Sugarbush Resort in Warren; and Bolton Valley Ski Area in Bolton. Summer programs are provided state-wide. Many of their programs include environmental education, wellness, and special programs designed specifically for veterans.
