_ The 2018 DisasTour:

A fun, multi-sport event that tours through Rochester, Hancock and Granville, Vermont. First staged in 2011 just weeks after Tropical Storm Irene, the Disas-Tour was created as a way to boost community morale, celebrate the resilience of the towns, and raise money for flood relief. In 2014, Organization of the event was transferred to the Rochester/Randolph Area Sports Trails Alliance (RASTA). Proceeds from DisasTour VII will benefit the White River Valley communities through the RASTA Valley Trail Project and the local food shelf.
