The Lace Up for Laura 5k walk/run fundraiser and Kids' Fun Run is a way to come together the last Saturday in June each year in celebration of Laura Cody McNaughton's life and her vision to bring health and wellness to all before she died in a tragic car accident on June 28, 2018. All proceeds support local high school scholarships, and thanks to our amazing participants and sponsors, we’ve awarded $50,000 in local scholarships so far! It is intended to be a fun activity families can participate in together with runners and walkers of all abilities.
The event will consist of two races held on Saturday, June 27, 2026 in Weathersfield, VT:
---->8:30am- Approximately 1/3 mile Kids' (12 and under) Fun Run with COLOR RUN stations, BUBBLE stations, and a MEDAL for all. Plus all participants will receive a complimentary commemorative LACE UP DUCK for the Springfield Area Parent Child Center Duck Run happening in Springfield at their Family Block Party and Duck Run at 4PM! Ducks will have a chance to win cash and prizes at their event. A great day for local families!
---->9:00am- 3.1 mile (5km) race for all ages and abilities with professional timing, music, water stations, and uplifting energy
The starting line for both races will be located near the intersection of Plains Road and Reservoir Road. The 3.1 mile race will be an out and back race on the scenic dirt road known for its lack of change in elevation. Proceeds from the 5K will benefit the Laura Cody McNaughton Memorial fund and its annual scholarship which will be awarded to a graduating senior who exemplifies Laura’s leadership and giving spirit, and is pursuing further education and training in a field where these principles may be put into practice.
