VERGENNES DAY RACE 2019

Greetings from the Vergennes Day Race committee and the City of Vergennes–the little city with a big heart. On Saturday Aug. 24th we invite you to join us at the 38th annual Vergennes Day race. Please bring your entire family and join us for our annual Little City Race. We have a 5K run and walk that takes you through our city streets and finishes at the Vergennes Elementary School–a great opportunity for friends and family to get out and participate in a fun-filled and healthy event. We also have a 10K & 15K run for those more serious runners, which has a challenging hill climb on Route 66 at the 3 mile mark. All courses have been wheel measured, so you can feel confident our distances are accurate. We’re hoping for a large turnout of runners and walkers this year, so please register online.

Race Day Registration starts at 7:30 am at the Vergennes Elementary School located at 43 East Street in Vergennes. Our 15K race will start at 8:30 am and our 5K & 10K races start at 9 am. If you’re planning to register the day of the race, please help us out by registering no later than 8:00 am. If you want a race t-shirt, I highly recommend you sign up online. Click here to sign up.

We’re also offering a ½ mile kids fun run. This race will be held in the back yard lawn area of the Vergennes Elementary School. The race will start on the school soccer field, go through a path into the Outdoor Classroom, back up onto the High School soccer fields, and then back to the Elementary School. This will be a fun run with prizes for all participants. No registration is needed, there is no cost to participate, just show up with your children. We encourage parents to run with their kids.

This year our race will help benefit the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad. Help us support this great non-profit organization by attending our race. You can learn more about the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad at their website. 

Please help us spread the word about our race. The more folks who show up, the larger the donation we can make to the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad! Like our Facebook page, RSVP and share our Facebook event, and tell your friends. Thank you!
