About the event

Imagine running a 5K that begins and ends at a lavender farm!?  Imagine indulging in Gourmet Mac & Cheese after!?  Join us for the 4th Annual Lavender 5k, and 2nd Annual Mac & Cheese Fest!

 Nestled in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is a beautiful farm that boasts of lavender, sunflowers, vegetables, herbs and much more! The views from the farm are nearly 360 degrees and are absolutely amazing.

This is a family event, all ages are welcome, walkers and runners. Runners and Walkers over 80 or under 10, enter for free! The course is located at the tip of Vermont, along the Canadian border on family farmland. This course includes rolling hills, fields, dirt roads, and a little bit of tarmac. We have been told by some past participants that this is a challenging course!

$1.00 of every entrance fee will be donated to the Halo Foundation. The Halo Foundation is a local charity that helps local families who are battling cancer. 

Snacks and water provided for participants. The Mac & Cheese Fest is at 12:00pm for $15.00, is the lunch that will be available. Come see some other local vendors after the race as well. (NO dogs please, we are a culinary farm).
