What??
- 24 hours to complete as many loops from the parking lot to the summit of Green Mountain
as you care to attempt. - Each loop will alternate clockwise (south to north) then counter-clockwise (north to south).
and is effectively 3.8 miles and entails 840' elevation gain/loss. - The north trail distance from parking lot to summit is 1.6 miles.
- The south trail distance from parking lot to summit is 2.2 miles.
Get in touch with your inner masochist!
If you can complete each lap in 1 hour average and summit Green Mountain 24 times,
you'll complete 91.2 miles and 20,160' elevation gain in 24 hours! (sorry no buckle).
You can revel in the simple pleasure of crewing for yourself, or recruit others
to assist you! After all, the parking lot is your personal aid station!
- Monotony
- Sleeplessness
- Pain
- Green Hell!?

Q & A
Q: This looks like it's going to suck bigtime - The same loop/summit over and over again?
A: Yeah, that's the point. It's what makes this particularly challenging.
Q: Can I just show up and do a few loops or show up later?
A: Sure - do as much as you can/feel like... 6:00 am Sunday is the ending cutoff
Q: Who is keeping track of the loops?
A: That is the participant's responsibility (honor system). You may want to keep a tally at
your vehicle and record times to calculate your splits if you have a good case of OCD.
Q: What do I get if I win?
A: 1st place! Hmm... well, hand-craft your own award for that personal touch!
Q: Is this a "real race"?
A: No, just sick people being sick. There is no signup, no liability, and no "event". Think
of it as an exercise in expanding one's mental fortitude in the hills and/or ultra-endurance events.
