  Welcome to the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon Weekend, featuring the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay, with 2 Person and 3-5 Person Relay presented by Darn Tough, Vermont, and the M&T Bank Memorial Day Weekend Youth Events!

  The marathon and relay course is a fast course--mostly flat with some rolling hills and one bigger climb at the midway point of each loop--through Burlington and along Lake Champlain. The M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay is a community effort, recognizing all those who have had a hand in making the race a success since 1989. The course runs through the best of Burlington, from the Church Street Marketplace to the Burlington Bike Path and offers exceptional views of the Adirondack Mountains.

  All up-to-date race information can be found on the RunVermont website at www.runvermont.org/vermont-city-marathon-relay/ and www.runvermont.org/memorial-day-weekend-youth-events/.

  Race History

  The GMAA has held a variation of the Red Rocks 5k since the early 1990s to raise money for the GMAA scholarship fund. Each year the GMAA awards scholarships to college-bound runners based on their contributions to the sport of running and their academic achievement. In recent years the GMAA has awarded 2 or 3 $1,000 scholarships to students who have achieved academic excellence and contributed to the sport of running.

  Registration

  Entry Fee: $20 (GMAA members subtract $5)

  • Pre-registration is encouraged. All pre-registered runners will be entered into the raffle.

  • Online pre-registration will close the night before the race at midnight.

  • In-person registration will be available on race day 8-9AM.

  • There will be no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.

  Restrictions

  Open to all runners 12 and older. For runners under the age of 12, the runner must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the race.

  Refreshments

  We will provide post-race snacks and water.

  Facilities

  There will be porta-potties near the entrance to the park and the park restrooms will also be open.

  Prizes

  Awards for the overall men’s, women’s and non-binary finisher in each age group. For the scholarship division (17 and under), top three finishers will be awarded in each category.

  All pre-registered runners will be automatically entered into the raffle prizes, which will be distributed at bib pick-up.

  Parking

  Red Rocks will be open for race parking, but you will not be able to leave until all runners have finished, which is about 45 minutes after race start. Additionally, you can park on Central Ave, where you would normally park for Red Rocks.

  Lace up your running shoes and grab your spoons, the Brain Freezer 5K is back!!

  If you are new to the race, the rules are simple: Challengers run half a 5k, stop to down a full pint of Vermont made ice cream, then finish out the the race! Are you up for the challenge? (fun runners do not have to finish a pint)

  This is the second year we've done this route, and it was a huge success last year! The race will follow the bike path along beautiful Lake Champlain. It will run between North Beach and Waterfront Park with an ice cream eating pit stop in Water Works Park.

  Prizes will be given out for best costume and best team costumes, so have fun with it!

  All of the proceeds from the race go to People Helping People Global, a Vermont-based international development organization that provides interest-free microloans to people living on less than $2 a day. Here is the link to learn more about the organization: PHPG's website.

  We thank all of the companies and volunteers that have donated money, time, or services to PHPG to make the Brain Freezer 5K happen!
