VERGENNES — From the fastest runners to most pedestrian walkers and everyone in between is invited to join the 5K, 10K and 15K races at Vergennes Day this coming Saturday morning.
The 36th annual Little City Road Races and Fun Run will kick off the Saturday morning activities and support a local charity.
The 5K run and walk will take you through city streets, finishing at the City Green. It’s a great opportunity for friends and family to get out and participate in a fun-filled and healthy event.
There will also be a 10K run for more serious runners, which includes a challenging hill climb on Route 66 at the 3-mile mark.
