Jenkins Mountain Scramble

Trail Half Marathon and 10k

The Jenkins Mountain Scramble returns in person this year! Join us on August 21st for a moderate 10k around the VIC trails or join the Half and scramble up Jenkins mountain.

Footage is from last year’s virtual event.

JMS 10k

The JMS 10k kicks off at 10 am and immediately cruises on soft duff covered trails along the edge of Heron Marsh. The course passes over the shingle mills falls bridge and follows shaded and grassy forest roads. After kicking you out onto dirt logging roads, you’ll duck back into the woods and head onto technical single-track along the beautiful shores of Black and Long Ponds. At the 4.5 mile mark the 10k course returns to the VIC via shaded and rolling forest roads.

The half marathon turns up the forest road to the base of Jenkins.

JMS Half Marathon

The half marathon starts at 9:30am and initially follows the same course as the 10k. At the 4.5mi mark, the Half Marathon begins the single track climb through shaded hardwoods to the Summit of Jenkins Mountain (elev. 2,513 ft). Upon reaching the summit, half marathon racers come down the mountain on the same route and then follow rolling ski trails, finishing off with our 1,600 ft boardwalk through bog habitat.

There will be two support stations on the course. Water and first aid will be available. Racers should carry what they will need and be prepared for varying trail & weather conditions.
