This is a great paved road running opportunity with some hills and variety in Stowe. Start at the Mountain Road and Luce Hill Road, at the Piecasso Restaurant parking lot. The first 1.5 miles is a 700 foot, fairly steep climb. You’ll be rewarded with a run along Trapp Hill Rd., with great mountain and valley views. After a rewarding downhill, the return is along fairly flat Barrows Rd., going by the Stowe High School and turning right at Ten Acre Lodge, heading back down the road to Rt. 108.

Other Routes in Stowe, VT
A recently developed multi-use path that runs between Morrisville and Cambridge. The trail quite flat, with a smooth gravel surface. There are wonderful mountain views along the trail, with terrain alternating between woods and open farm fields.
A popular, paved 5.3 mile multi-use trail, fairly flat and with great views. It meanders along West Branch River, over numerous small bridges, past beautiful farms, and enchanting wooded sections. Great Mansfield views headed north!
A wonderful, but hilly 10-mile run along mainly back roads. Gorgeous mountain views. The highlight is the red covered bridge off Sterling Valley Rd.
A great 10k back road run. Especially pretty in autumn, as it starts at 750 feet in elevation so there are great views to the mountains and valleys as you pass farms and fields.
Running from Stowe to the village of Moscow is a great opportunity to get some flat, continuous road running on a quieter road paralleling Rt. 100. We've mapped a 4.5 mile out and back route and a 6.8 mile loop option including Stowe Hollow.
The Trapp Famiy Lodge is a famous Vermont landmark, owned by the Trapp family of Sound and Music fame. The lodge is set about 1,000 feet up, with mountain views. In summer and fall, fantastic trail running for all abilities.
Stowe Hollow is one of the more exclusive residential sections of Stowe. Hilly dirt roads take you by large country estates. This is a good area for running if you like hills and dirt roads. We've put together loops of 4 miles and 7 miles.
If you would like a true challenge and want to literally run up (or down) Mount Mansfield, this is a unique opportunity. A toll road runs up the mountain, climbing 2,540 vertical feet over 4.3 miles, with steep grades. See restrictions.
The Notch road can be too narrow and steep for running in summer, but it's a good spot when closed to cars from November to May, and popular with winter runners. The first 1.5 miles to Bingham Falls aren't too steep. After that, different story.
