The Green Mountain Adventure Racing Association and MVP Health Care want to show you what Vermont outdoors is really all about. Challenge yourself to one of the toughest, wildest, muddiest 12-hour races anywhere. Past years have seen everything from pouring rain and swollen rivers to baking heat. Accelerated cutoffs mean even beginners can finish with the pack and have a great time. Luckily, our course designers make it their mission to get you lost and damaged - if you don\'t want to work for it, are you sure you\'re in the right sport?

This year, The Bitter Pill has again been selected to be a qualifier for the USARA National Championship - first place winner gets an entry to Nationals and ca$h to help them get there. We\'ve also got some other great free and reduced entries to regional races to give award.
