Lucy Mac 5K9

The countdown is on for the Lucy Mac 5K9 on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at Ascutney Outdoors!

The Lucy Mac 5K9 is held on the trails at Ascutney Outdoors and is one of Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society’s largest fundraising events of the year. This year's event is even more special as Lucy Mackenzie celebrates 110 years of serving animals and people in the community! The Lucy Mac 5K9 offers both a timed 5K route as well as a 1-mile option. Runners and walkers can participate solo, or as a team, and enjoy the thrilling and beautiful trails of Ascutney Mountain – all in support of the animals at Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society. As always, dogs are welcome to join in on the fun!

The registration fee is $30 for the 5K trail and $20 for the 1-mile trail.

In honor of our 110th anniversary, every participant that raises at least $110 will receive a free 2025 5K9 t-shirt!

All participants completing the 5K9 will receive a custom Lucy Mac 5K9 medal!

Check-in and registration will be 9 – 10AM at the Ascutney Outdoors Center located at 449 Ski Tow Road, Brownsville, VT 05037.

The 1-mile race will kick-off at 10AM, and the 5K race will start at 10:30AM.

Participants will be treated to a scenic Vermont adventure as they race along handcrafted trails located on the western base of Ascutney Mountain. The 5K trail will lead participants across fields, over streams and through the woods before they finish winding down the ski slopes of the mountain. Views from the course are sure to be spectacular. For those not quite up to the full 5K trail, we’re also offering a fantastic 1-mile course which is just as much fun.
