We welcome you to join us for our 11th Annual Island Vines Road Race at beautiful Snow Farm Vineyard! 9AM start for the 10K Run and 5K Run or Walk. The 10K and 5K are out-and-back courses on South Hero's beautiful West Shore Rd. The first and last mile are gently rolling hills, the middle part of the course is mostly flat.

RESULTS FOR 2024 HERE

A portion of race proceeds goes to RunVermont's Youth Programming, which serves over 1,000 in Vermont communities; and to C.I.D.E.R. which develops and fosters resources that enable the people of Grand Isle County to live in their community with dignity. C.I.D.E.R. accomplishes this by providing direct services and collaborating with other individuals and groups. C.I.D.E.R. feels a special responsibility to elders and persons with disabilities. We've embraced C.I.D.E.R.'s mission for a lot longer than the 11 years we've been producing the Island Vines race and are so pleased to be able to help their efforts in a small way.
