Description

Update, June 30: Series Postponed to 2021 Dear Series Runners, It was our sincere hope that in postponing the Portland 10 Miler to September that we would be able to host two of the three Series stops in 2020. We have put in many hours formulating event protocols and safety measures to make this happen. But, we have come to the painful conclusion as a staff and with the City of Portland that it is simply not safe or realistic to host a race of this size this September. All series registrants will be automatically rolled into next year’s series events in Portland (4/25), Newport (6/6) and Vermont (11/7) pending permit approval. There is no further action needed on your part. As of July 1st, we have not made a final decision on the 2020 Vermont 10 Miler and we continue to work with the Stowe and Vermont to safely host this event as scheduled. If we are able to do so, we invite all Series registrants to join us on November 1st at no additional cost. As always, the safety and health of our runners, volunteers and staff is our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected]. We’re thankful for each and every one of our participants and your support and understanding as we work towards sunnier days on the road together again.
