Join us in a summer paradise for our third annual CLTA 5K. The race is held on the grounds of the beautiful Chris Lewit Tennis Academy near Manchester, Vermont, in the green mountains. The course is a lap course (approximately .75 miles per lap) along our wooded trails meandering past the majestic West River. Runners will pass through the checkpoint in front of the club several times allowing for good cheering and viewing opportunities for spectators.
There will be many CLTA tennis academy kids running the race. Kids and families are welcome! Bring a picnic and enjoy the race and river with family! Or visit nearby charming Manchester after the race!
Please be aware that the race is technical through forest trails!
Free T-shirts to all racers!
Come tubing and swimming in the river after the race!
