Sponsored by Saucony, this race is going to be a race to remember! Not only was this race recognized in 2014 by Active.com as one of nine of the most scenic Fall half marathon courses in New England, but new for 2021, registration will include a post-race meal provided by LaVilla Bistro in addition to a commemorative bib and finisher's medal. Please note that the date of this race is going to change because the Vermont City Marathon has just been changed to October 24. If you are registered for this race, you will automatically be moved to the new date. We will announce the new date asap.
Beginning at Shelburne Field House, the half marathon is a loop course. You’ll start out running through one of Shelburne’s most popular neighborhoods before heading into the countryside. After a short jaunt past Shelburne Farms, you’ll progress north to the Shelburne Shipyard where you’ll turn around and head back home (don’t miss the beautiful views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks along the way). Continue down the Shelburne Bay Path and the historic Ti-Path before returning to Shelburne Field House.
In general, this race usually draws racers from across the country and from Canada and has sold out every year for the past 5 years. Again this year we are pleased to offer a $10 discount to racers age 12 & under for all of our races. Do not hesitate to register. This promises to be our best race of 2021!
With any luck, COVID-19 will not affect this race. If it does, we will update this section and email all registered racers.
Race bibs and t-shirts will be available at Fleet Feet Sports, 77 Pearl Street, Essex Junction, Vermont on Saturday, November 7 from 2:00 - 6:00 pm. Racers will be offered a 15% discount at Fleet Feet at packet pickup. Pre-packet pickup is optional, but highly recommended.
Race day check in will be open at Shelburne Field House on Sunday, November 7. Time to be determined. Racers will receive an email prior to the race with this information.
