ENTRY PROCESS

Entry process for the 2025 event is as follows:

Early Registration

Participants can qualify for early registration through any of six criteria:

  1. 4+ Vermont 100 mile finishes in the past 8 editions (100 mile race only) OR 4+ Vermont 100 km finishes in the past 8 editions (100k race only)
  2. Overall podium in the past 2 Vermont 100s (for the distance they podiumed only, to be used once for an early registration)
  3. Aid station captains or their designee (each club that adopts an aid station can designate one runner for early entry)
  4. Athletes with Disabilities
  5. “Local Supporters” (race committee members, VT100 course land owners, etc.)
  6. Runners who have completed both the Vermont 100 mile run and Vermont 100 mile ride.

Runners who qualify for early registration will receive an email with their early registration code by December 13th and must enter during the early registration period.  If you believe you qualify and don’t receive a lottery bypass code, follow up with the RD between December 13th and 23rd, 2024.

General Registration

General registration will be via lottery, as follows:

  • Runners will be allowed to enter lottery either individually or with a buddy (i.e. either you both get in or you don’t).
  • All names entered will be pulled, either for the race or to place them on the waitlist in the order pulled.
  • Runners may only enter the lottery once – so sign up for the distance you prefer to run.  If you are found to have entered the lottery for both the 100k and 100 mile distance, both entries will be removed from the lottery.
  • New this year – we are not capping registration for the different distances, we are instead capping the event total at 450 runners.  This means there will be one lottery and one waitlist for all runners.  *This will allow runners to change their entered distance through June 1, 2025.

DIVISIONS

VT100 recognizes three divisions for both males/females:

Each division has its own rules. See Runner’s Handbook.

WHO’S REGISTERED

VT100 periodically updates a complete list of entrants.  These lists will show the start list and waitlist for the 2025 Vermont 100:

  • 100 mile & 100 kilometer runners (link added when start list generated after lottery)

WAITLIST

After the races fill, you may enter the wait list here (link added after lottery). As runners withdraw from the race, the top waitlisted runner will automatically be moved into the race and their credit card charged race fees.  It is up to those on the waitlist to remove themselves prior to being pulled into the race if they are no longer interested in running.

RUNNER WITHDRAWAL

  • Please complete this form to officially withdraw your entry (from the start list and from the waitlist).
  • Runners are eligible for a partial refund of 70% if prior to May 1, and 50% if prior to June 1. *So long as there is a runner on the waitlist to take your spot.
  • Runners are allowed to ‘swap distances’ or ‘drop down’ in distance through July 1, 2025.
  • VT100 does NOT defer or transfer entries.
