Brent Sitterly posted a VK route (below).  But, this route starts at Pleasant Valley Road and is ~ 3500' vertical in 4.8 miles.

So I've been obsessed with the vertical kilometer event.  Apparently there are at least two peak in Vermont that could support such an effort, Killington and Mansfield.  I am going to attempt the only route I could find on Mansfield that will have 1000m of ascent.

Route:  1.7-ish miles down Mountain road from Underhill state park, up Eagle cut to the Laura Cowles trail.
Total vert:  ~1000m
Total horiz:  ~4.5 miles

This cross-state trail starts in the northwest corner of RI in the Buck Hill Management Area on the Massachusetts border and travels over a variety of surfaces to the beach east of Quonochontaug. You can find info concerning this trail at the following websites: www.rigreenways.org/paths/nst-data.htm, outdoors.htmlplanet.com/nst/nst_map00.htm

Cannon Cliff is a steep ridge cliff on the east side of Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire. The cliff has several climbs that link up to trails atop and on the sides to make up for several challenges of combining trail running and moderate climbing, taking into account the rules that climbing do not exceed 10%. This is the east coast equivalent to the Flatiron FKTs in Boulder. The routes starts at the climbers kiosk at the Profile Lake parking area.

There are two main trails that partly overlap in the Middlesex Fells (https://www.mass.gov/locations/middlesex-fells-reservation).

This is the Skyline Trail a 7 mile challenge.

I came here to see what the FKT is on my favorite local running route - the Middlesex Fells Skyline Trail! Turns out, there is no thread yet, so I guess I'll make the first post.
