The Vermont 100 weekend is a weekend to look forward to in my summer. This is my second time volunteering for the event with last year (
2016) being my first and I can easily see it becoming a tradition. Visit the
race website for more info on the race.
My friend Liza and I went up together this year and had a blast. Vermont and the Vermont 100 did not disappoint. From amazing volunteers, enthusiastic runners and spastic weather, there was always something to see and be inspired by. Flexibility was key for the weekend...e.g. sleeping in the car to avoid camping in the wet fields with looming clouds above. Adventure! We volunteered first at the Friday night runner dinner and then Saturday at Camp 10 Bear aid station from 6am-2pm. I recognized a lot of people from last year and made some new connections. I am tired but oh so inspired.
Here are my pictures from the weekend.
