💰 The Silver Heist 5K & Little Bandits Bolt – Race Through History, Dash for Silver! 🏃✨
Are you ready for a thrilling adventure that combines fitness, fun, and local folklore?
📅 Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26, 2025, and join us in Orwell, Vermont, for a one-of-a-kind race through history! With every step, you'll uncover the tale of two daring robberies that shook our town over a century ago.
👑 The Legendary Heist:
In 1862, cunning bandits stole $30 in silver from the Orwell Bank, and decades later, history repeated itself when thieves made off with cash and a ring belonging to Mrs. Myrtie P. Brooks. Now, it's your turn to rewrite history!
Runners start with a wooden ring token (a nod to the stolen treasure) and launch into action with a conch shell blast, just like Eber Murray signaled time for prayers in the late 1700s. Along the way, you'll leave your ring at the "bandits' camp" before racing down scenic North Orwell Road to a cheering crowd on the town green.
🏅 What's in it for you?
Exclusive swag: Every participant gets a custom T-shirt and finisher's medal to remember their heist!
A legendary prize: The race winner will score $30 in silver—exactly what the bandits stole in 1862.
A sweet finish: Every participant will enjoy a free scoop of delicious Stewart's Shops ice cream at the end of the race!
Give back: 100% of profits benefit two amazing nonprofits—the Orwell Village School Booster Club and the Orwell Historical Society.
Fun for all: With the Little Bandits Bolt for kids, this event is perfect for families and runners of all levels!
