2 events in Burlington, Vermont

Join Noelle Lambert, two-time Paralympian and world bronze medalist representing Team M&T Bank, at the University of Vermont on Saturday, March 21, 2026. Noelle will sit down with Heidi Stumpff, Regional President at M&T Bank, to share more about Noelle’s inspiring journey as a professional athlete and her experiences competing on the world stage. After the speaking program, youth participants will get to lace up their sneakers and run alongside a Paralympian on the indoor track — an unforgettable opportunity to move, learn, and be inspired!

Registration is free and only required of youth participants, not accompanying parents and guardians, and includes a race bib that Noelle can sign; snacks; a commemorative giveaway item; and the opportunity to attend Noelle's program, participate in play-based warmups and dynamic exercises inspired by RunVermont's Mini Milers curriculum, and sprint/jog/hop/participant's choice one (or more!) laps around the 160-meter track. Noelle and Heidi’s trackside chat is geared towards kids 5+ (and adults), but all ages are welcome. We’ll have some quiet activities and additional indoor space for younger kids, or anyone in need of a break.

Doors open at 8:00 a.m., with opening remarks and Noelle's program at 8:30 a.m., followed by dynamic exercises and laps at 9:30 a.m.
