Great news! Online registration for the Persist 5K Burlington, VT, has been extended through Friday, 5/12 (11:59 p.m.)!
VENUE CHANGE - Due to inclement weather, we are now staging the run/walk from Union Station, located at 1 Main Street, Burlington. See our website for details: www.persist5k.com. The forecast may show some rain, but we will PERSIST! Bring your raincoat and umbrella if needed but the chance of rain seems to be decreasing every day.
For race packet pick-up and an alternate registration avenue, Skida is hosting an awesome pre-event party on Saturday, 5/13, from 4-6 p.m. at its Burlington Showroom (16 Kilburn Street)! Participants can pick up their bib, a custom-designed Skida headband, and swag bag (with a few in-store promotions for participants) while enjoying some tunes and complimentary refreshments from Otter Creek Brewing! Saturday race packet pick-up is highly recommended! If Saturday comes and you haven't registered, stop by the Skida event to register and save $5 on the event fee! As an added bonus, if you're one of the first 500 people to register, you'll secure a free Persist 5K Skida headband.
