Big Beautiful Life Run Walk & Roll AND First Responder Touch-A-Truck
About this race
Featuring the Pounds for Purpose Challenge
June 14, 2026 | Essex Middle School, VT
Lifting the Weight, Together.
The "Heavy Lift" of a pediatric medical journey isn’t just physical—it’s the daily emotional and financial weight of navigating a chronic crisis. This June, the Big Beautiful Life Run, Walk & Roll brings our community together to shoulder that weight for 150 local families.
Inspired by the vibrant legacy of Addi Carroll (15A1), we gather to live loudly, find joy, and provide "Practical Comfort" to those who need it most.
Join fellow runners on June 8, 2025 for the Big Beautiful Life Run Walk & Roll AND First Responder Touch-A-Truck. It's a fantastic 5K, 1.2K, 1.9K featuring a flat and fast course in Essex Junction.
