BarnArts Race Around the Lake

Sun May 18, 2025 Directions

Help us support our mission at BarnArts! 

Mission
To engage and inspire the local community through a year-round program of community theater, musical performances, youth theater, school workshops, and community events supporting both the existing and developing talents of local adults and children as well as nationally and internationally recognized artists.

 

Vision
A community that views art as essential to social well-being, values the pursuit of creativity and shared learning and where a thriving arts culture and rural economy are mutually supportive.

 

The Race Around the Lake specifically supports BarnArts Youth Programming: sponsorship and scholarships for our Summer Youth Theater, visiting artists to local schools, and free programs for kids, like the BarnArts Youth Chorale.

Place

In-person race will be in Barnard, Vermont on our usual trails around Silver Lake! Start/Finish is preliminarily scheduled at Silver Lake State Park, pending new State rules. An alternative Start/Finish area is available, if we need it!

Join us for our 12th year!

RACE AROUND THE LAKE raises money for BarnArts youth programming, primarily our Summer Youth Theater, now in its 14th Season. These funds allow us to keep our enrollment costs low and offer scholarships to students who need additional assistance. We recently expanded our Arts-in-Education programming, and offer a free youth choir experience every fall.

 

Day-of Info

For those walking the 5k, we recommend bringing a water bottle with you. 

The 5k has one water station about 1/3 of the way through, while the 10k has 2 additional water stations.
