The Vermont City Marathon felt extra special this year. A huge thank you to the teams at and for continuing to push sustainability forward in such meaningful ways, like offering local canned at the finish line.
Back in the winter, Anthea reached out about creating a custom finish line can for race day. Thanks to the collaboration between their graphic designer, our co-packing team, and , it all came to life this past Sunday in Burlington.
Crossing the finish line as a 3:45 pacer and being handed a can of our own spring water was a pretty surreal full-circle moment. From VCM being my first marathon in 2014, to starting Chug Water with my brother Cullen in 2021, to being handed a can this year… what a feeling.
We’re so incredibly grateful to be part of a community that values movement, sustainability, and supporting one another and proud to have shared a small part in the VCM race day.
Congratulations to all the runners, and a huge heartfelt thank you to every volunteer, runner, spectator, organizer, and partner who helped make this weekend what it is!
