_ The 2018 Kingdom Run:

Kingdom Run (half marathon, 10K & 5K) combines a competitive athletic event with the old-fashioned hospitality and charm of a small town in rural Vermont.  Kingdom Run is an out & back race on scenic dirt roads in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.  5K & 10K walkers are welcome.  A complimentary munchies buffet is topped off with blueberry sundaes.  Prizes for winners in six age categories. 

For more details about the race, go to our website at www.kingdomrun.org.

Kingdom Run is an independent fundraiser for the Northeast Kingdom Spay-Neuter Program.  All proceeds from this event are used to spay or neuter dogs and cats in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

Although Kingdom Run benefits dogs & cats, it is NOT a dog walk.  For the safety of all, dogs are not allowed in any of the running or walking categories.

Kingdom Run is a competitive, but friendly running event.

Kingdom Run is not part of the "Kingdom Games Series".
