Please join us for the Virtual Suffrage Scramble!

Here are the details: Run, walk, stroll or roll (wheelchairs, not bikes) any time between August 8-15 to commemorate 100 years of the 19th Amendment and women's right to vote! Complete the 3.1 miles on the route of your choice and at any pace, and submit your result with your "Finish Line Photo" to celebrate.

The Suffrage Scramble Virtual 5K is presented by Central Vermont Runners and the Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance. $20 entrance fee for individuals and discounts for teams. Although women got the vote in 1920, Black women were frequently denied the right to vote until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. People of color, people with disabilities, and people of modest incomes had to fight for their right to vote free from legal restrictions, intimidation and threats of violence, a struggle that continues to this day. Event proceeds and donations go to the Rutland chapter of the NAACP to support voter registration, education, and access for communities of color.

There will be freebies and prizes from sponsors like UnTapped and Cabot Creamery Co-operative. The first 300 entrants registered are guaranteed "Votes For Women/Votes For All" sashes to wear during their event. Register now: cvrunners.org/cvr-races/suffrage-scramble/ We have over 100 people signed up to walk, march or run. Let CVR know if you have any questions and don't forget to vote in the Primary by August 11!
