About

The Brain Freezer 5K in Burlington is a 5K (3.1 miles) challenge that combines running with an ice cream eating contest, set for September 11, 2027, at 10:00 a.m. Participants run part of the course, stop to eat a container of Vermont-made ice cream, then finish the race.

The scenic route follows a bike path along Lake Champlain, with a stop at Water Works Park, and prizes go to the best costumes. The event supports People Helping People Global, a Vermont-based international development organization that provides interest-free microloans to people living on less than $2 a day, and the proceeds go to this organization.
