In looking for a way to give back within the community, NAIFA-Vermont felt it was important to identify a cause that was related to our industry, local to Vermont and one where we could do more than simply make a donation. This event checks all those boxes, as our members can take part in the days activities, show support for those affected and bring our families/kids out as well!

Please join fellow NAIFA-Vermont members in participating in this family-friendly 5k event. Whether you are competitive or enjoy a casual pace, all are welcome to take part in this community event, benefiting a local Vermont Organization, Empty Arms Vermont. The route is flat and scenic, starting and finishing at the Oakledge Park along the Burlington Bike Path.

There are two ways our members can get involved with this event!

  1. Run or Walk the course (register at www.emptyarmsvermont.org/5krun). At 11am there will be awards, live music, a Ben & Jerry's ice cream truck and a Circus performer!
  2. Cheer others on who are running. (email chelsea@emptyarmsvermont.org and indicate you're with NAIFA-Vermont, they'll supply tables, chairs, music, noise makers, and snacks for kids! Just bring your spirit and fun!!
