Brenda Morris's thoughts:

I was excited to run this one, as I love Vermont!

I arrived Saturday to attend the Bib pickup/Expo and Live Band at 7pm. Unfortunately, the expo only had 1 table of Chafex cream, and the kids race and band was cancelled without any posting on social media or email, so I waited around until someone told me about the cancelations due to chance of rain, but it was actually nice out, and a bunch of kids still did their own races or raced siblings. I went to American Flatbread, which is amazing local organic food chain, so yummy! Perfect place to find great food to carbo load.

Sunday morning, the parking was not bad as its a small town race, which is nice. The porta john lines were long, but moved pretty quickly. I liked the nice old time music they were playing. We started out on time, and I was impressed throughout the marathon how nice all the volunteers were at the aid stations, even when the rain was coming down pretty hard, they would always be smiling and thanking me for visiting, and saying hope you come back again. :)

If you like hills, this is the race for you! I loved all the farms, animals, views and small old time vibe of the run.

At the finish the RD Dori was there with a big smile and big hug :)

Post refreshments included: Coffee, water, cider, fruit, bagels, and chips.

The race didn't have much social media activity and no email sent out prior to race to confirm, but once I was there, I enjoyed the low key old time style :)

I'll be back!!
