Heady Trotter 4 Miler at The Alchemist
The event is a 4 mile race that starts and finishes on the lawn of The Alchemist Brewery in Stowe, Vermont. The in-person course is chip timed and certified. The finish area includes a Heady Topper beer, fresh cider mill donuts, live music and food trucks.
There are multiple participation options: an in-person 4 mile race, an Adaptive Sports Division for wheelchair and guided athletes, and a virtual 4 mile option with swag mailed to participants excluding the Heady beer. Registration windows and fees are listed by division; the in-person and adaptive divisions share the same registration period and fee while the virtual option has a later registration close date and a separate fee.
Swag for registrants includes a neoprene koozie and custom knit race socks, with swag upgrades available for teams and donors. Donors who give at least $25 receive upgraded swag. Awards are given for overall male and female 1st through 3rd and in five-year age categories from under 10 through 80 plus. The event also features a raffle for a one of a kind Adirondack style ski chair.
The event supports Green Mountain Adaptive Sports. A $10,000 match from the Vermont Community Foundation is available for donations. Logistical notes: all runners park off site and arrive by bus, and participants are assigned corrals and start in waves based on self-identified estimated finish times. The Adaptive Sports Division is intended for adaptive athletes and not for parents with jogging strollers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
