I want you to know about a fun and challenging 5K trail race one month from today. This is a timed race with prizes. As a Halloween-themed event, costumes are encouraged - your creative and daring wardrobe could get you a great prize.
The Second Annual "Freaky 5K Trail Race" will be held on Sunday, October 27th at 10:00 AM, at the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps in Richmond. This is the beautiful red barn on Route 2 just east of Richmond Village. The race will take you through farmland and conserved woods. Last year was the event’s inaugural year – 112 runners competed and set the bar high. The time to beat this year is 21:32 and the costume to out-do is a one-armed lumberjack with a chainsaw!
Registration is $35 ($25 for students and VYCC alumni). This gets you a bib, goodie bag, fleece headband, and refreshments afterwards: Skinny Pancake will be serving up delicious crepes.
Proceeds support VYCC programs. This is a great way to celebrate the VYCC – run trails built by past Corps Members while enabling more youth to participate in coming years.
Registration is open; registration and information at www.vycc.org/5K. Not a runner? There are also volunteer opportunities. For more information, please contact me...and spread the word to your friends, neighbors, and family!
