Access to South End Store During Marathon May 25

On Sunday, May 25, street closures for the Vermont City Marathon will affect access to our South End store, especially between 7:30 – 11 a.m., and create delays getting around town. From 7:30 - 8 a.m. we anticipate there will be no access to our South End store due to heavy runner density. From 8:30 - 11 a.m. we expect sporadic access with the support of a police officer on-site to guide traffic between runners. Both stores will be open regular hours. Learn more about the marathon route, closures and delays on the RunVermont website
