The Annual Sap Run is a point to point run that starts in Swanton Village and finishes on Main Street in the heart of the Vermont Maple Festival in Downtown St. Albans. This race is part of the Triple Crown Series, which includes two other Franklin County Races: The Milk Run in Enosburg, and the Egg Run in Fairfax. Runners who do all 3 events will be eligible for special prizes.
This race is part of the Vermont Maple Festival, which celebrates the Sweet Maple Syrup industry in Vermont. The race finishes right in the heart of the festival, which has food trucks, maple donuts, maple cotton candy, and maple creemees (or soft serve for you non-locals). Plus craft and art shows, music, and much more.
Course: We will use the traditional course which starts by the park in the Village of Swanton, and runs South on Route 7 for 8.5 miles before finishing in front of Taylor Park in St. Albans.
Official timing will end at 10:30 AM, as we have to clear out for the Maple Festival Parade at Noon.
NOTE: The course is on a main road, and the road will not be closed. The road is not that busy on a Sunday morning and there is a wide shoulder, but you as a runner need to be alert to traffic. There will be a lead vehicle and a tail vehicle to provide some warning to traffic, but we do not have the ability to patrol every intersection. We are going to try to obtain some traffic control at a couple of the major intersections. You are responsible for checking for traffic at intersections and should plan to stay alert as if you were out for a training run on your own.
