Grindstone Trail Running Festival 2025 Results

22 September 2025

After an almost month-long breather since the UTMB Finals in Chamonix back in August of this year the UTMB World Series is back in action with 4 events on one weekend. The Grindstone Trail Running Festival by UTMB is the East Coast’s contribution to the series and gives “Beast Coast” runners a chance to get their stones on their side of the country. This entirely North American podium saw several new names and most notably Adelyn FAIRLEY taking the overall win in the 20K race.
