Join us at VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK in South Burlington, VT. Not in Vermont? No worries as we're still offering a virtual option. And, most importantly, YES IT WILL BE FUN! No matter if you choose to run, walk, run/walk, or go virtual.
- In-person run/walk: September 27, 2026 at Veterans Memorial Park, South Burlington VT
- Virtual run/walk: You choose the date, time, and location!
The in-person portion begins at 9:00am, with check-in and same day registration opening at 8:00am.
Register by August 22 to purchase this year's event tee and have your dog's name included on the back. Missed the deadline? We always order extras and may have your size available, which you can purchase after the run.
Race packets, bibs, and tees (if you purchase one) will be available to all registrants a few days before the event. We will email you when they are ready for pickup — or for shipping, if that's the option you choose.
See you at the Chase Away!
