5th Annual AirPeyton Walk/Run for Pediatric Cancer Awareness

The 5th Annual AirPeyton Memorial 5K Walk/Run for Pediatric Cancer Awareness will be held Sunday, September 14th, 2025, at Montpelier High School (MHS) starting at 11 a.m. All money raised will go to ALEX'S LEMONADE STAND FOUNDATION to support Pediatric Cancer research. You can participate IN-PERSON or VIRTUALLY!

This year, in addition to our spectacular RAFFLE with AMAZING PRIZES, we will also have: Bounce Houses, Lawn Games, Face Painting, and FOOD TRUCKS! And of course.... LEMONADE!

This event's namesake is a courageous and amazing young man named Peyton Smith who bravely battled Ewing's Sarcoma for over two years before passing in 2020. Peyton graduated MHS in May of 2020 and aspired to be a famous designer making sneakers for professional athletes. He was truly an inspiration to everyone who met him.

This in-person and virtual walk/run, honoring Peyton, has inspired the local community along with friends and family to contribute in numerous ways. When the 4th Annual event concluded, over **$26,000** had been raised for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation! This year, the event looks to increase its partnership with schools throughout Vermont and a continued partnership with Norwich University. Note: This event is being held both in person and virtually wherever you may be in the world. In person start time on Sunday, 9/14, is 11:00 at Montpelier High School. Registration opens at 10am with the walk/run kicking off at 11am!
