A version of this route was originally recorded on Instagram (but not Strava) by Alex Honnold. This is a popular backpacking route for those that want to avoid Yosemite crowds, capture epic scenery, and see Yosemite in all its glory.

This is a challenge to run from the lowest point in Vermont (Lake Champlain 95’) to the highest point (Mt Mansfield 4,393’). The athlete can start anywhere (on public property) along the shore of Lake Champlain and take any route to reach the summit. The most efficient route is likely around 24 miles with 4700’ of gain.
