What % of the fee participants pay goes towards Joseph Brant Hospital?
Marianne, my understanding is that the organizers of this race benefit financially in addition to the donation to Joseph Brant. Since a large swath of south Burlington is inconvenienced on an annual basis, is it too much to ask that complete financial disclosure about this event be made public?
Further, since south Burlington seems to be continually inconvenienced with several of these races, I would like to see the city start to “share” these races across the city.
How about moving the race to New Street! Its already screwed up 😂😱🙈🙉
Is there talk of ever moving this race or alternating the sides of Lakeshore that can access the road. We’re on the south side and are always trapped in our building. Even when we book a martial to come they never show up. It affects our kids Swim classes and one son’s bday. Tired of being held hostage in my home or having to deal with issues for my son to have a bday party
Thank you
