Battle Day 5K Road Race
The Battle Day 5K Road Race is an annual event held in Bennington, Vermont, commemorating the historic Battle of Bennington from 1777. The race features a mostly flat 3.1-mile out-and-back course starting and ending at the Bennington Battle Monument in Old Bennington. In addition to the 5K, there is a 0.5-mile Kid’s Fun Run around the monument.
The event welcomes both runners and walkers, emphasizing participation over competition, as the race is not timed. Dogs and strollers are discouraged. The race atmosphere is celebratory, with a musket firing marking the start.
Shirt pickup is available before the race at the monument. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
