Summer 100

The atmosphere on race morning is serene yet energized; runners gather under a clear sky with temperatures ranging from 18.8 to 28.3 degrees Celsius, feeling comfortable as they begin their daily miles. The surface is hard and dry, providing consistent footing for both walkers and runners alike. Participants can expect strong UV levels due to the high index of 8.0, so sunscreen is a must.
The tradition of this event has grown each year since its inception, with participants from all over signing up to take on the challenge or simply enjoy running their daily miles within the supportive group tracked through Strava. This race matters deeply in Montpelier as it brings together community members and fosters a sense of accomplishment among runners.
The 100 Mile Challenge offers a distance of 160.9 kilometers, while the 250 Miles covers an impressive 402.3 kilometers. Both challenges require registration through https://raceroster.com/events/2026/138326/summer-100 with a fee of $25.00 each.
Participants can pick up their bibs on June 29th, between the hours of 4 PM and 7 PM at the Montpelier Community Center located at 123 Main Street. Bring along any necessary items such as race number, timing chip (provided), and a copy of your Strava account.
The start location for all participants is Montpelier Central Park at 500 River Drive in downtown Montpelier. The age requirement is open to anyone interested in the challenge; there are no specific age restrictions mentioned. A first-timer should be prepared with proper running gear, a daily mileage plan, and perhaps some form of motivation as they embark on this journey.
The Summer 100 mile challenge ends September 29th, giving participants ample time to complete their miles while enjoying the supportive community environment that Montpelier offers. This event is worth attending for those who seek an engaging way to stay active over a long period and contribute to the local sense of achievement and camaraderie among runners.
