About the event

Join Empty Arms Vermont for a 5K race/walk starting and finishing at Veterans Memorial Park in South Burlington. This is a family-friendly event for both competitive and casual runners and walkers. After the race, stick around to enjoy live music, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, kid-friendly entertainment and time together. This 5K benefits the vision of Empty Arms Vermont, which is to foster a community of care, compassion and connection as families grieve pregnancy and infant loss.

This is a whole community event! Whether you have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, are a supportive family member or friend, a medical provider, or a compassionate community member -- we invite you to this special community event!

Check-in and bib pick-up is from 8:30–9:50am

Parking: Free parking at Veterans Memorial Park! Overflow parking can be found at Faith United Methodist Church.

The Run & Walk begins at 10:00am from the main pavilion. This course is a loop that follows the South Burlington bike path (pet & stroller friendly). Water and little snacks for kids will be available along the way.

Please stick around from 11:00–12:15pm for:

Live music from Smokey Newfield Project!
Awards: We have some great prizes for the award categories: fastest overall, fastest female, fastest youth under 12, and most team spirit!
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream truck: All registered participants will receive a free scoop of ice cream. Any non-registered family & friends can purchase ice cream at the truck.
Kid-Friendly entertainment: Magician Tom Joyce will be here with a fun family show!

The proceeds from the 5K Run & Walk benefits the vision of Empty Arms Vermont, which is to foster a community of support, compassion and connection as families grieve pregnancy and infant loss.
