All categories will start together at 5:30. Both courses will be open, it is the rider’s responsibility to make the correct turn at the MS/HS split and to count their laps. As everyone is starting together, please self-seed and stage responsibly; unless you’re in the “I try really hard” category, then you have to start at the back and work through traffic!
Podium recognition will be at 6:30 (yes, the kids are timing this). Make sure you finish your last lap in time.
All proceeds raised will be donated to the NICA NY League.

8.2 Miles Run Trail
Sat, Jun 27, 2026 at 8:30 AM
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.

The Bike Hub is proud to announce our Sunday Epic ride series! These are all-day rides featuring some of the best mixed-terrain riding the tri-state area has to offer. Forgotten woods roads, fast
gravel, rugged singletrack, and even a bit of hike-a-bike. These rides will be long, difficult, and absolutely beautiful. While there is no perfect bike for a Sunday Epic, anything with around a 2 inch tire will work. More details on terrain will be included in each event post. Sunday Epic's will be held the third Sunday of every month from April-September. Start location may vary, but will usually end will some sort of food and drink situation. Wheels down at 8am always.
This one is gonna be extra tough. Bring a mountain bike of some sort, curly bars may not get you far. My goal here was to put together a ride with the toughest possible terrain and most amount of climbing in the least mileage. Enter the Grass Mtn Sufferset. If you've never visited this area you are in for a treat. Starts and ends at the Shaftsbury Historical Society on 7A, park by the red barn.
A few notes on the nitty-gritty of these rides.
Sunday Epic's are fully self supported. Bring everything you need to successfully finish the route. We expect you to carry basics like spare tube, pump, multi-tool, patch kit, food and water, etc. Although we occasionally stop at a convenience store, there are many times where the ride is too remote for that to be an option.
We generally try to ride together, but you are welcome to do your own thing as long as you have the route. Group pace usually hovers somewhere around the 10mph average mark, but may be slower depending on terrain/climbing.
Expect this to take a good chunk of the day. Occasional stops for snacks etc. We move pretty continuously, but also aren't in a rush.
RideWithGPS link here.
Note that we don't charge anything for these rides, but we do welcome donations! We are a community-based 501c3 nonprofit focused on removing barriers to cycling for all within the tri-state area. We provide education, free access to bikes and cycling accessories, and provide a place for people of all ages and abilities to connect through cycling.

The Retreat Farm Ramble is our third annual cycling event with multiple rides to choose from. This year we'll have a 33-mile mixed gravel and pavement farm tour and a 15 mile family-friendly hybrid
bike and E-bike tour. Each route will have aid station stops and riders on the 33-mile route will also make stops at partnering farms to refuel on provided treats.
The ride will end at Retreat Farm, where our Farmhouse Square will be open with music, food, and tasty craft brews. We'll have food trucks, music, mechanical support, and a farm full of fun for the entire family, with hiking, a forest playground, and animals out on pasture. Our North Barn and Thirsty Goat Bar will be open, and you can visit the Retreat Farm Market featuring VT-made cheese and food products.
The first fifty riders to sign up will receive a complimentary Retreat Farm hat on the day of the event!
