Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Take to the Streets

Looking to get moving after holiday indulgences such as one too many New Year's Eve toasts? Or, perhaps, you want to make good on a resolution? Lace up those running shoes and put your best foot forward for RunVermont's 25th annual FirstRun. To brighten spirits — and the landscape — crazy costumes are encouraged during this 5K through Burlington's downtown and Old North End. Youngsters join the action with half-mile and one-mile jaunts; little ones are welcome in strollers. Participants partake in post-race food, awards, a raffle and prizes in several costume categories.
