Kingdom Trails Community Chat Series
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM





 We’re proud to debut KT Community Chats! These will be relatively informal gatherings hosted on a monthly basis. The chats will consist of Abby Long, KT’s Executive Director, plus a few Board members or folks from the KT Team.

 

Goals of the gathering will be a chance to share the latest news from KT, yet the bulk of the chats will be an opportunity for KT to hear feedback from you, our community. We want to receive your thoughts, questions, and even visions!

 

If concerns are identified through these chats, we hope to demonstrate action and responsiveness, either by addressing the issues during the gathering or following up individually with folks. If it appears to be a broader concern, our team can devote a more strategic effort. There may be times when we are unable to solve every issue or implement every suggestion, but we commit to you now that we will listen.

Northeast Kingdom Marathon
9:00 AM





  The Northeast Kingdom Marathon is a FREE USATF certified self-supported half/full marathon designed to support Island Pond – a small former railroad town nestled deep within the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Following the lead of the innovative Millinocket Marathon – runners who participate are asked to be generous and support the Island Pond community and surrounding region in every way possible.

 

The act of giving can empower, uplift and restore. We think that’s worth running 26.2 miles for.
