Ran the fun run with my niece and nephew. Kids' loved it and usually get a medal or some kinds of prize, tshirts some years, and popsicles. What's not to love?? The 5K follows and is a great flat course. Water stations along the way and the start/finish is the same

Great course. I know people complained about the location of the number pickup. Unless you live in Dumbo, the pickup location is pretty out of the way. This is the first run I know about where the race organizers let you send a "proxy" to pickup your number

This is one of the oldest races in Vermont and has great history and character. It is mostly on dirt roads and there is a gradual uphill toward the turn around making the last half feel easier than the first half. Don't expect a lot of hoopla, but it is pleasant
