This race runs through Burlington in support of PANS and PANDAS awareness, conditions that affect children and are still largely unknown in the region. It was started by a Burlington family whose son was diagnosed after years of searching for answers, and that origin gives the event a specific weight. The course is a straightforward run or walk, open to anyone who wants to show up and move.

The Vermont PANDAS & PANS Awareness 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:16:32, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (122 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 20:26 while the median finisher took 30:17. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
