A Mad River Valley fall tradition continues with the running (and walking) of the 26th Annual Mad Dash! Held on the beautiful Harwood trails and fields on Sunday, October 9, 2022, you can expect groovy leaves, live music, good food, a big silent auction, and awesome comradery. The 5km Mad Dash course, which is presented by long-time title sponsor Sugarbush Resort, winds runners and walkers through incredible forest and stream views while the start/finish provides brilliant mountain views. The Kid’s Fun Run, presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, is held in the fields and offers the kiddo’s a true finish line experience. Kids can choose from a 1km or 100 yard option. Like every year, participants receive a collectable t-shirt and a light lunch. The returning silent auction lets you get ahead of holiday shopping with tons of local and unique items. If you need another reason to sign up today, know that all funds from this event go directly into the work of the Mad River Path to maintain and expand its network of public paths and trails!
Sign up today at madriverpath.org/maddash! Registration starts at just $20 for adults, $15 for under 18, and $5 for the kid’s fun run. Adult prices increase after September 9.
