On July 4th, 2024 we had a record breaking number of runners (354) sign up for, and finish the Clarence DeMar 5k in South Hero, VT. Wondu Summa topped the field of 316 runners with a time of 16:09.2. Christine Hagan was the first female finisher with a time of 19:23 and Matt Powers was the top non-binary athlete with a time of 18:43.9. All runners were awarded with Island Homemade Ice Cream, watermelon and ice pops upon finishing. Most runners who stayed after the race received a prize from the raffle table, where all prizes were generously donated from local Vermont businesses. We had a great race and can’t wait for next year!
