Lace Up for Laura 2026
Lace Up for Laura is an annual community event held in Perkinsville, Vermont, that raises funds for local high school scholarships. The event serves as a memorial fundraiser, with proceeds supporting the Laura Cody McNaughton Memorial fund. Participants gather at the intersection of Plains Road and Reservoir Road for a morning of physical activity.
The event features two distinct distances for participants:
- 5 km (3.1 miles) run or walk for all ages and abilities.
- 1/3 mile Kids Fun Run for children aged 12 and under.
The 5 km course is an out and back route located on a scenic dirt road. This path is known for its minimal elevation changes, offering a flat surface for both runners and walkers. This timed race includes music and water stations along the way.
The Kids Fun Run is designed as an interactive experience featuring color run stations and bubble stations. All participating children receive a medal and a commemorative duck for a local community event. The 2026 edition continues the tradition of supporting education, with the memorial fund having awarded $50,000 in scholarships to date.
