"We are ... an eclectic crew of runners, walkers and joggers. We're teachers, researchers, farmers, nutritionists, social workers, students, lawyers, health care professionals and computer techies. We hail from as near as the Burlington (VT) area and as far away as Poland. Some of us have run marathons that number in the double digits; others are steadily working up to their first 26.2-mile finish. Some are pretty speedy, others plug along at a much slower pace. Most of us trod at a moderate speed, depending on who we're running with. With us, CAMARADERIE is key.
We all bring something different to the mix, but we're united in a common cause.
Within just last year Upstate New York / Vermont Team in Training program raised over $850,000 for leukemia and lymphoma research.
And, yeah, in the process we've become quite addicted to running (some of us more than others!) Not in that psycho "the 18th mile feels just grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!", but rather in the way that running 20 miles in the blustery Vermont cold, with a big crew of encouraging friends-who miraculously can talk you out of quitting halfway through your most torturous training run, or whose serenades of 70s songs can make you forget your pain two hours into a workout. We have FUN and it just FEELS GOOD. So does warming up with a steaming, post-run cup of coffee and a bagel, sitting around a table with your best running buddies.

Why not come join us?"
