Register now for United Counseling Service’s Superhero 5K and Kids’ Dash on November 2

Registration is open for United Counseling Service (UCS)’s seventh annual Superhero 5K and Kids’ Dash on November 2, 2024, starting from the Berkshire Family YMCA at 655 Gage Street in Bennington, VT. Register at ucsvt.org/events by September 30 to be guaranteed an official 2024 race shirt.

This family friendly event is a fun day out for all age groups and supports UCS’ Teens4Change (T4C) program, a peer-led program that gives local teens opportunities to plan activities, build connections and take positive action in their community. Online registration can be completed at ucsvt.org/events. 

UCS’ T4C program runs solely on donations. Last year’s Superhero 5K and Kids’ Dash raised $2,500 for T4C, which was used to host their annual UCS Bennington Youth Summit and provide weekly meetups for members. This year, they look forward to participating in local events like HarvestFest and MayFest, planning community service outings, helping local organizations with projects such as Alliance for Community Transformation (ACT)’s Take Care Project, and much more.

To register for or sponsor this year’s Superhero 5K and Kids’ Dash, please visit ucsvt.org/events. More information about UCS and its programs, including Teens4Change, can be found at ucsvt.org.
