Past event
Sep 23, 2018, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM

Mark your calendars for the second annual youth-organized Race Against Racism on Sunday, Sept. 23 at Montpelier High School! The 5K race will begin at 11:30 and the rally begins at noon. The Race Against Racism is a youth-led, inclusive running event that brings together the community. Runners will run a 5k scenic loop through the streets and bike path of Montpelier, starting at Montpelier High School.

Running is optional! There will be other highlights - including pizza by Woodbelly Pizza and other refreshments, music by A2VT (Hip Hop) and SoundCheck (Indie Rock), spoken word by Lena Ginawi and Rivan Calderin, and a chosen few amazing speakers at the rally. Proceeds will benefit Migrant Justice and Youth 4 Change at The Root Social Justice Center!

It is clear that this is a time when we all need to stand together and fight for inclusion and equity so please join us! For more information about the event and how to register for the race, please visit https://raceagainstracismvt.wordpress.com/.
