Hi Neighbors,
I’m writing to let you know about a fun and challenging 5K trail race!
This is a timed race with prizes. As a Halloween themed event, costumes 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.
I hope you will spread the word to your friends, neighbors, and family.
