Why Cirque Killington Is More Than a Race—It’s a Weekend Worth Running For

A Trail Race That Climbs Higher

Cirque Series brings its signature energy to Killington on Saturday, June 28.

This is more than a trail run—it’s 7.2 miles and 3,100 vertical feet of challenge, views, and camaraderie. As you climb from the K-1 base to the summit ridge, you’re not just racing—you’re part of something bigger.

What to Expect

Start your day with bib pickup and a 9:00 AM race launch. After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues with food trucks, live music, and high-fives all around. Later, share your stories at the official after-party.
