Overview Join us Saturday, June 20th, 2026 for the fourth installment of Detoor! This year, Detoor will continue to support riders who race the clock, those who stop and smell the roses, and everyone
in between. The start/finish and afterparty will take place at 124 School Street, East Fairfield, VT. Your $32 entry includes aid stations and wood-fired pizza made on-site by the Fairfield Community Center. Frost Beer Works will have beverages available for purchase. This event is hosted by people who spend most of their time doing business, doctoring, researching, and studying, so give us some grace and enjoy this opportunity to ride bikes on exceptional dirt roads. There is a strict field limit for safety, so sign up early and do not hesitate to reach out with questions. Whatever route you choose to take, we hope to see you there! Format and Terrain Each distance (35 and 75 miles) will be split into waves of racers and riders. Each route will feature quiet dirt roads and plenty of climbs.
The long course includes several unmaintained (Class 4) sections. We recommend using a bike with tires >35mm in width. You are responsible for your safety. If you can’t ride it, walk it. The courses cover vast territories and there are plenty of kids ready to spin arrows and cause chaos. As such, ROUTES ARE NOT MARKED. All riders should be able to self navigate with GPS routes or cue sheets. The routes: TBD. Anticipate very similar routes to last year. See videos from Tim Putnam and Ted King for a preview. Aid Stations There will be a comprehensive aid station at 54 East Bakersfield Road in Bakersfield with UnTapped products, several food options, water and hydration mix. There will be an additional water-only table on the long course. Refunds We are a small event with an even smaller budget. No refunds will be issued. You can always transfer your registration to someone else using BikeReg.

For women completing the 100, this will provide a sense of familiarity in the second half, with a different perspective and feel since riding in the opposite direction.
Since our personal paces vary, many women will have crossover as they complete the first fifty miles and/or continue for a second lap as they work towards one hundred, promoting a sense of togetherness, an opportunity to cheer each other along, or simply share a smile or wave in recognition of our shared experience.

Race Info
The Black River Grand Prix is growing! Join us on Saturday, June 20, 2026 for the Black River Grand Prix weekend, a celebration of fast racing, big
loops, varied terrain, and fun in the woods. The format is simple: mass start on one big lap (or two). Want to race 12 miles of the best the Center has to offer? Enter the Grand Prix. Think it's so nice you want to do it twice? Then the Grand Epic is for you. And if racing isn't your thing and you just want a signed ride and a good lunch, then the Grand Tour has your name on it.
Whatever your category, this ain’t XCO, this is VT mountain biking - flow, tech, jank, doubletrack, ski trail, and maybe even a dirt road or two - there’s something for everyone. There's even a bit of pavement at the start.
The 2025 Black River Grand Epic field will head off at 10:15am for the 25-mile epic race featuring nearly all the riding the Center has to offer. Two 12-mile loops of nearly all our trails in the most fun layout we can pull off. This is not sufferfest racing, this is the local's loop, routed the way the builders like to ride.
The Grand Prix will start fifteen minutes later at 10:30am for those who just want one sweet race lap.
Five minutes later at 10:35AM the Grand Tour riders go off on a mellow cruise of the same loop. The lap never loops back into the stadium, so once you’re gone, you’re gone, though the Grand Epic racers will come back through the Upper Field after their first ~12-mile lap.
First folks back win. The courses will look nearly identical to the 2024 Grand Prix course, with a few changes and reroutes to keep y'all on your toes.
Check out last year's Race Guide! for more info about how the event ran in 2023.
Pricing and Prize Purses
The Grand Prix will be $50 for open racers, $30 for U23 competitors, and $25 for juniors (ages 18 and under). The Grand Epic will be $75. The Grand Tour costs $35.
$12 of each open entry fee will go towards prize money for the open category in that respective race. $3 to the male and female winners, $2 for second place, and $1 for third place.
We will call up podiums for the top 3 overall men and women, and the top junior (U20) boy and girl. Door draw prizes will be distributed by random draw at bib pickup. Only “open” competitors are eligible for cash prizes. That means juniors and U23 athletes will not receive cash. If you think you could win money, register for the open race.
On-site Lodging
Did you know the Center has on-site lodging with meals available? Whether you want your own private cabin, a lakeside cottage, or just a room in our Cedar Lodge dorm, we can meet your needs. A room in Cedar lodge (with three meals included) starts at just $155.

Welcome to beautiful Wilmington, NY, the home of Whiteface Mountain and the 8th annual Whiskey Run 5K and 10K!
But why a Whiskey Run you ask? As it turns out, the area has quite a storied history
with liquor, legal and otherwise. During the War of 1812, Wilmington supplied good rye whiskey to the American troops at the Battle of Plattsburgh as part of their daily ration. During prohibition with its proximity to Canada, Wilmington residents provided temporary haven for bootleggers crossing the border, and until recently, Wilmington was home to US Barrel, a whiskey barrel cooperage. So with our somewhat checkered history and natural beauty we invite you to join us for the annual Wilmington Whiteface Whiskey Run starting at 9:30 am at Preston Festival Field in Wilmington. Following the race is the awards ceremony with food available for purchase at Preston Festival Field. Run participants will receive a t-shirt and a “swag bag” filled with quality local goods. Run finishers will receive a medal.

Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — 6.5K (4 Miles)
July 4 • 8:00 AM Start
Life. Liberty. Lake. Love.
Every Turn Counts.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, this region stood at the cutting edge of the fight
for American independence. Lake Champlain was the highway, the strategy, and the lifeline — and the communities along its shores were right in the middle of it.
This July 4th, we’re celebrating that history the Essex way: by getting outside, gathering together, and running (or walking) through the same beautiful landscape where it all unfolded.
Welcome to the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — a professionally chip-timed 4-mile race celebrating community, fresh Adirondack air, working farmland, and a finish that leads straight into one of the best small-town Fourth of July celebrations around.
Brought to you by Lake Champlain Yoga, Pilates & Wellness, and formerly known as the Essex Firecracker Run, this year we’re leveling up for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution in beautiful Essex-on-Lake Champlain, right in the heart of the Adirondack Park.
Yes, it’s historic.
Yes, it’s meaningful.
Yes, it’s also going to be a lot of fun.
Not a runner? You can still be part of the revolution. Register to support High Peaks Hospice and receive the commemorative race shirt or go to our online store. All proceeds from the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 benefit High Peaks Hospice, supporting compassionate end-of-life care for families throughout our region.
Early registration is open now — and the early bird price disappears soon.

The Course (It’s a Good One)
Flat start.
One gentle uphill.
Fast downhill finish.
The race begins on a firm, hard-packed country dirt road — easy underfoot and perfect for settling into your stride. From there, the course moves through open farmland in the Adirondack Park, passing cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and horses.
It’s basically a pastoral postcard… with sneakers.
After transitioning to paved roads, there’s one manageable climb (you’ve got this), followed by a downhill stretch that carries you into downtown Essex for a strong finish surrounded by parade energy.
And yes — Lake Champlain is right there at the end. If you decide to jump in afterward, we won’t judge. We might join you.
Run it fast, jog it easy, or walk it with friends — then stay downtown for the parade, music, food, and the best small-town Fourth of July celebration around.
Bring a phone or camera — the finish line and lake views make for excellent Fourth of July photos.
This scenic, smooth, and relatively fast course welcomes competitive runners, casual joggers, walkers, families, and anyone who enjoys fresh air and a good reason to celebrate.
If you’re chasing a personal best, this course can deliver — and if you’re here for the scenery and celebration, you’ll fit right in too.
