UCS Superhero 5K and Kids' Dash

UCS Superhero 5K and Kids' Dash is held in Bennington, Vermont, on November 7, 2026. The 5K run/walk starts at 9:00 a.m. over 3.1 miles, with a kids' dash alongside it as the title suggests, so children can take part without facing the full distance. Runners and walkers share the same course and the same start.

Vermont in early November is cold and often damp at 9:00 a.m., so plan a warm-up you can do in a jacket and leave dry clothes within reach of the finish. The 5K itself is approachable for a beginner after a month of three run-walk sessions a week, and experienced runners can treat it as a hard 20-minute effort. If you do dress the part, pick something you can actually run 3.1 miles in.
