The Heady Trotter attracts hundreds of runners or all abilities from across the country, AND raises important funds for Green Mountain Adaptive Sports.

We look forward to seeing you, and we thank you for the generous support!

We will also be raffling off a one of a kind custom-made Heady Trotter Firepit after the completion of the Heady Trotter race. You are invited to stop by the Green Mountain Adaptive Sports tent to purchase raffle tickets at the event.
If you prefer, you can purchase your raffle tickets online now!. We will fill out your tickets and add the stubs to the bucket. If your ticket gets pulled, we will contact you by phone, or email. There is no need to be present to win, but the winner will need to pick up the firepit, this item cannot be shipped. 100% of the sales of the raffle tickets will go toward funding athlete scholarships and adaptive equipment for Green Mountain Adaptive Sports program participants. We thank you for your generous contribution, and wish you the best of luck!
