What is the TAM Trek?
The TAM Trek is a trail race and fun run to raise funds for the Trail Around Middlebury (TAM). The Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) started building the TAM in 1989 and its 19 miles now encircles the village of Middlebury, traveling through Cornwall, Weybridge, and New Haven. It links several hundred acres of town land, MALT conserved properties, schools, and other local landmarks. Aid stations are plentiful and well-stocked, views are spectacular, and nothing beats early Fall’s trail racing weather!

Each year, it costs MALT over $25,000 to maintain this community gem, your race entry fee directly helps with these costs!

Race highlights:
-2 suspension bridges
-All trail types
-Great post-race food, live music, and AMAZING local raffle prizes
-A distance for everyone
-For competitive runners and family runners alike
