Covered Bridges Half Marathon 2021.
29th CBHM Goes "Virtual" and you are all invited to run Anyplace, Anytime June 6-13, 2021.
Covered Bridges Half Marathon - a community based road race-runs the first Sunday in June and is hosted by CBHM Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Woodstock, Vermont.
CBHM is the best 13.1 miles in New England! Experience some of Vermont's covered bridges and support local charities.
Each year CBHM runners give back $50,000-$60,000 in donations to our youth groups, non-profits and local recreation departments (the people who take care of you on our race course!)
CBHM GOES VIRTUAL for 2021 and You are Invited!
Race registration Closes June 1, 2021 at 11:59 PM ET
Register before June 19, 2021 to be sure your race t-shirt and finisher medal arrive in time for your run (mail might be slow with the Memorial Day Weekend coming up!)
In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and prioritize the health and safety of our community and our participants, CBHM Inc. race directors and race committee have decided to move forward with a Virtual Half Marathon 29th annual event.
Our race planning committee and leadership team explored a multitude of scenarios that led us to conclude the event could not be executed on our racecourse from Pomfret, Vermont to Quechee, Vermont during the pandemic with the enthusiasm and atmosphere our runners have come to expect. More importantly, we simply cannot offer a traditional race in a manner where the safety and security of our runners, volunteers, and spectators is optimally achieved.
Your continued support and participation in 2021 is very important to us. Each year part of your race registration is given back to our host communities. We donate $50,000-$60,000 back to our local youth groups, non-profits, and recreation departments. These are the volunteers who take care of you during our race! Support them NOW! So you'll see them in 2022!

How Our Virtual Race Works
Rally a team of friends and register to run our virtual 1/2 marathon in your own community. Run or walk the distance on a course of your choosing, and then simply report your time using RACE JOY or other timing method to be added to our national results leaderboard. (You don’t even have to record your time if you prefer not to!)
Complete your virtual run (or walk or even stroll) between Sunday, June 6th and Sunday June 13, 2021.
We will miss seeing you in person, so please tag #cbhm2021 on social, so we can cheer you on and congratulate you on a great race!
