2021 Race Against Racism

Past event
Oct 3, 2021, 3 to 5 PM

The 4th Annual Race Against Racism will take place on Sunday, October 3rd, 2021 at the Vermont State House!

The Race Against Racism is a state-wide annual anti-racist event, organized by youth from several Vermont high schools. All are welcome to a public rally, curated with a spectacular list of notable speakers, performances, and live music beginning at 3pm. An optional 5k run or walk will begin at the Vermont State house at 4pm on a scenic loop through the city of Montpelier. Registration for the race will be from 2-3pm. The goal of the event is to strengthen and amplify the crucial conversation surrounding racial justice in Vermont, and to strengthen the idea that change is now.

Runners and walkers include many high school sports teams from around Vermont, their classmates, and community members of all kinds. For the rally portion of the program there is wood-fired pizza, music, speakers, and performances. Many local social justice organizations will be promoting their work and engaging the public in political activities. There will be activities for children too!

Registration closes on Thursday, and registering after Thursday will result in a 5$ extra charge. Register ahead of time right here- https://www.runreg.com/10070

Hope to see you there!
