The Northfield 5k and Kids Mile races are just one week away! Here are the top five reasons to sign up today at www.cvrunners.org! Reason #5: Registration fees have not increased for the past five years, and have actually lowered for the kids mile and for seniors age 65 plus! Reason #4: Race proceeds provide vital support for CVR's mini-grants for youth running programs and help support the Vermont Senior Games. Reason #3: Community support for the annual footraces is fantastic. Cheering crowds and Labor Day weekend festival fun await you! Reason #2: The 5k course is true Vermont with a Main Street start, a cruising downhill through the downtown area, a footbridge, a section of dirt road, and a thrilling finish back at Depot Square. And the kids mile course is just as exciting! Reason #1: Tradition - 47 years of fun for this iconic race!

Are you ready to cross the bridge and sign up for the Northfield 5k? Time to get moving and sign up at www.cvrunners.org before the price increase at midnight on Tuesday! Darrel is back this year to mark the course for Vermont's favorite Labor Day weekend race on Saturday, September 5 in beautiful downtown Northfield!
