RunVermont's mission is to support running as a lifelong activity by producing exceptional events and programs that engage our community and celebrate the athletic spirit. RunVermont endeavors to start this support early by offering free youth races throughout the year and through its Mini Milers program.
Mini Milers gives elementary school children access to fitness, good nutrition, community service and goal setting, all while having fun and being safe. Children meet weekly with Mini Miler leaders to get motivated, get educated, get some exercise, and keep track of their progress.
Mini Milers are not required to participate in RunVermont's Memorial Day Weekend Youth Events, which include the M&T Bank Vermont City Two Mile and the Mini Marathon, but the majority of Mini Milers, along with several hundred other youth, choose to. While it does cost money to participate in these youth events, RunVermont does not want a registration fee to be a barrier to any youth participating and offers scholarship entries upon request.
Help us support creating the space for kids to learn about being healthy and active at an early age so that they will go on to have a lifelong love of running and staying active.
$65 - Pays for 3+ siblings to participate in a Memorial Day Weekend Youth Event
$50 - Pays for 2 siblings to participate in a Memorial Day Weekend Youth Event
$40 - Pays for 2 youth to participate in Mini Milers

Welcome to the Snowdevil Ultra, the original Spartan Founders event and the oldest Spartan challenge since 2003. Held at the iconic Riverside Farm in Pittsfield, VT, this venue is the heart and soul of Spartan history. Nestled in the picturesque Green Mountains, Riverside Farm offers a rugged, no-frills environment that embodies the true Spartan spirit.
The Snowdevil Ultra isn't just a race; it's a return to the roots of Spartan endurance. Expect demanding trails, relentless climbs, and breathtaking views. From the thousand-foot, three-mile climb to the dense spruce forest aptly named the Labyrinth, every step of this course will test your grit and determination.
Join us at Snowdevil for a pure, unadulterated challenge. Strip away the luxuries and face the raw, demanding conditions that have defined Spartan races for over two decades.

Race Info
The Black River Grand Prix returns! Join us on Saturday, June 19, 2027 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 15 miles (25k) 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 50k 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 2026 Black River Grand Epic field will head off at 10:00am for the 25-mile Epic race featuring nearly all the riding the Center has to offer. Two loops (plus a parade lap!) 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 5 minutes later at 10:05am for those who just want one sweet race lap.
Five minutes later at 10:07AM 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 ~15-mile lap.
First folks back win. The courses will look nearly identical to the 2026 Grand Prix course, with a few changes and reroutes to keep y'all on your toes.
Check out the Race Guide! for more info about this year's event.
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.
We're still in the process of figuring out prize money. But we will have cash prizes for the top three of each gender in both distances.
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.
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.
