Middlebury Maple run prep under way
MIDDLEBURY — Planning for the fourth annual “Middlebury Maple Run — The Sweetest Half” is under way with new improvements to the 13.1-mile race course with views of the Green and Adirondack mountains. The race kicks off at 9 a.m. on May 6.
Due to the increase in annual participants, the starting line of the USATF-certified course is now on South Street in front of the Porter Medical Center, providing a wider and safer starting area. With the closure of the Pulp Mill Covered Bridge, the first two miles of the course have been rerouted with fewer turned and will also runners to get up to speed quickly.
Event organizers will also be using B-Tag ChronoTrack timing, a technology that uses an RFID tag that attached to each runner’s bib number, providing more accurate timing.
Student registration rates are $35 for individual and $45 for a team. Non-student runners are $45 individual and $65 for teams. Registration prices increase on April 22 and t-shirts are guarantees to every person who registers by then.
Proceeds will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Addison County Humane Society, H.O.P.E. and Girl on the Run. For more information or to register, visit www.middleburymaplerun.com
