Fallen Leaves 5K Race Series #3

Fallen Leaves 5K Race Series #3 takes place in Montpelier, Vermont, on November 21, 2026. As the name states, it is the third race of the Fallen Leaves 5K series, and the web address points to Central Vermont Runners as the club behind it. The listing shows one format, a 5K (3.1 miles); no start time is given in the data, so check the club's schedule before you plan your morning.

Series races have a different feel from one-off events: the field tends to include regulars who have run the earlier rounds, which makes them a good place to compare your times across a few weeks of autumn training. If you missed the first two, nothing stops you from jumping in at number three. Dress for a late-November morning in Vermont with layers you can shed and gloves, and warm up longer than usual so you are loose at the line. For a fast 5K, keep one weekly interval session in your routine, such as 6 x 400 meters at goal pace, and let the rest of your running stay easy.
