Several hundred runners are expected to participate in the event, which kicks off Northfield's Labor Day weekend festivities. The 5K adult race begins at 9:30 a.m., and the 1-mile kid's race for children ages 5-13 follows at 10:30 a.m. Runners can pre-register online by visiting www.racemenu.com/NSBFootrace. 

Once again, NSB is pleased to welcome the participation of the Vermont Senior Games Association. VSGA will be awarding gold, silver and bronze medals to men and women over 50 in five-year age groups. Race participants will also be eligible to qualify for the 2019 National Senior Games in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
