Heady Trotter 4 Miler

Perfectly timed in the middle of fall in Vermont, between leaf season and the opening of the slopes, the Heady Trotter 4 Miler returns on Sunday, October 19, 2025.

The four-mile road race through scenic Stowe starts and finishes at the Alchemist Brewery with a crisp, fresh Heady Topper and live music, food trucks, and lawn games all afternoon. Chip timed and USATF certified course, with the best swag around the Heady Trotter is your must-do fall race for 2024.

A portion of registration fees as well as add-on swag items directly benefit our charity partner, Green Mountain Adaptive Sports.

Lodging fills up quickly for this popular weekend, so we highly recommend booking lodging in advance to lock in your room early at the lowest rate.
