Kingdom Run

Kingdom Run is an out-and-back run on a well-maintained dirt road (pavement to get out of the village) with few houses and low vehicular traffic. The race begins and ends on the quaint and historic Irasburg Common with the use of the Town Hall for facilities and in case of rain.

Runners and walkers may opt for a 5K or 10K event. Hills are small to moderate with gradual inclines; the increase in elevation being on the way out.

A half marathon event offers more challenging terrain to long distance runners with three half-mile sections of incline (but no monster hills) at the 4 mile, 5 mile and return home 7.5 mile mark. Trees provide shade along much of the route.

All distances are measured by a global positioning device with mileage markers along the course. Stunning views of the Jay Peak Range, the Willoughby Gap Range (for half-marathon runners), picturesque farm country, a tree-lined canopy road and even a real stone castle make Kingdom Run live up to its name in the beautiful and unique Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

A complimentary munchies buffet of fruit, finger sandwiches, cheese & crackers, chips, homemade cookies, water and punch is topped off with blueberry sundaes after the race. Prizes will be awarded to the winning runners & walkers in six age categories.

Kingdom Run is an independent fundraiser for the Northeast Kingdom Spay-Neuter Program
