At 8:00 Sunday morning thousands of runners will hit the streets of Burlington. The annual Vermont City Marathon gets bigger every year and while runners are out training months in advance, Vermont businesses are busy gearing up for their arrival. Select Design is responsible for printing all the t-shirts for the marathon. That's 6,000 runners, 1,700 volunteers, and then several hundred extras that go on sale to the public. ... The sponsors are displayed right on the sleeve of each shirt. It's a reminder that this race wouldn't happen without them and is no small undertaking. Vermont Pure keeps the marathoners hydrated before during and after the race by supplying 4,000 gallons of spring water. Nearly 7,000 of bottles are shipped from Randolph to Burlington for the big event each year.
