Big Beautiful Life Run Walk & Roll
The event is a community running and rolling event in Essex Junction, Vermont, held at the address 60 Founders Rd. It includes in-person and virtual formats and combines timed races, shorter family-friendly routes, and community activities that aim to raise funds and collect food donations to support local families facing pediatric medical crises.
The program features a Pounds for Purpose challenge with a tactical "Heavy Lift" option for first responders. Qualifying tactical gear totals 66 pounds and examples are listed for Fire, Police, and EMS participants. First responders who complete the course in gear receive a BBL Tactical Goodie Bag. Teams can compete as station teams; the Top Fundraising Team and Largest Team earn trophies. Teams may direct 25% of their fundraising total back to their organization or a chosen non-profit.
Community goals and perks are included: a 2,500 pound food donation target for Aunt Dot's Place, a $5,000 fundraising benchmark described as "Family Stability," and a broader fundraising objective of $275,000 to support 150 families. Event swag and awards vary by category and format, including finishers' ribbons, electronic certificates, optional T-shirts for virtual participants, and custom medals for overall winners. The shorter route is described as a flat, fully accessible paved course with family activities at a village party after the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
