Registration open for UCS Superhero 5K and Kids' Dash
BENNINGTON, Vt. — Registration is open for United Counseling Service's (UCS) eighth annual UCS Superhero 5K and Kids' Dash on Nov. 8, 2025, at ucsvt.org/events.
This family-friendly event starts from the Berkshire Family YMCA at 655 Gage Street in downtown Bennington and supports UCS' Teens4Change (T4C) program, a peer-led program that gives local teens opportunities to gather weekly, make community connections and help others.
Last year's UCS Superhero 5K and Kids' Dash raised $2,500 for T4C, which provided funds for their annual UCS Bennington Youth Summit and weekly meetups for members. The youth of T4C plan activities and trips throughout the year, attend local events like Bennington's HarvestFest and MayFest, and participate in community service projects.
This year's Kids' Dash is powered by Invincible level sponsor, Heritage Family Credit Union.
2025 event sponsors are Heritage Family Credit Union (Invincible Level), The Richards Group (Guardian Level), Genoa Healthcare and Janitronics Facility Services (Aquaman Level), GVH Studio, rkMiles, Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, Turning Point Center of Bennington, MSK Engineers, and VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region (Defender Level), and Taconic Music, Hill & Thompson (Champion Level).
Sponsorship opportunities and race registration can be found at ucsvt.org/events.
