Welcome a New Friend to VT50-VitalFit

Welcome a new FRIEND to Vermont 50-They’ll be at our Vendor Expo on Saturday, Sept. 23 from noon until 5 p.m.

‘We’re VitalFit, and we make simple, plant-sourced supplements to guide our bodies through the workouts we love; using non-GMO, superfood ingredients only, we’re finding ways to push a little harder, move a little smoother and recover a little faster.’

We work with Boston trainers and instructors to develop plant based products for the modern workout and the athletic crowd. We also worked with experts, doctors, and nutritionists to find the best raw materials. Our first product, tart cherry, has been on the market for a few months and is a huge hit thus far! We have actually been consistently among the highest grossing products at Cambridge Naturals.

We have 470 people currently fundraising. They have collected over $19,000 so far!

$60 covers the cost of a ½ day of skiing or snowboarding including equipment.
$100 covers a whole day of skiing or snowboarding in the winter or a therapeutic horse back lesson in the summer. (These allow us to provide scholarships to people who otherwise could not participate.)

Training for the Vermont 50 Got You a Little Sore…

Racers, feeling tight, tired, or sore from training?

Here’s a 10 minute yoga video designed for endurance athletes like you, with stretches focused on quads, hamstrings and glute muscles.

This sequence is great anytime, before or after a workout, or on days when you don’t have time to fit in anything else.

Thanks to Flyway Yoga for and Malaika DosRemedios for making this for us!
