Bike, Run, or Walk to Support Healthy Aging in Central Vermont!
This year’s Hit the Trail promises to be an unforgettable day with an essential mission! Celebrate and recreate on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail by lacing up your running or walking shoes or climbing onto your bicycle. Funds raised make it possible for your neighbors to age with dignity and choice, accessing essentials like groceries or emergency fuel as well as affordable prescription drug plans and free evidence-based exercise classes.
Take your bike to Johnson (15 miles round-trip) or Cambridge (30 miles round-trip), or lace up your sneakers for a timed 5K run or walk on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail.
