Saturday, Sept. 21—BROWNSVILLE—The Lucy Mac 5K9 will be held on the trails at Ascutney Outdoors this Saturday. It is one of Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society’s largest fundraising events of the year. The 5K9 offers both a 5K route as well as a 1-mile option. Runners and walkers of all ages can participate solo, or as a team, and enjoy the thrilling and beautiful trails of Ascutney Mountain — all in support of the animals at Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society. This is most certainly a family-friendly event and, of course, dogs are welcome to join in on the fun!
Participants will be treated to a scenic Vermont adventure as they race along handbuilt trails located on the western base of Ascutney Mountain. The 5K trail, which has been deemed one of the most picturesque 5K routes in New England, will lead participants across fields, over streams and through the woods before they finish winding down the ski slopes of the mountain. Views from the course are sure to be spectacular! For those not quite up to the full 5K trail, we’re also offering a fantastic 1-mile course, which is equally gorgeous and just as much fun!
The registration fee is $30 for the 5K trail and $20 for the 1-mile trail. All participants completing the 5K9 will receive a custom Lucy Mac 5K9 medal.
Check-in and registration will be 9-10 a.m. at the Ascutney Outdoors Center located at 449 Ski Tow Road in Brownsville.
The 1-mile race will kick-off at 10 a.m., and the 5K race will start at 10:30 a.m.
