Half Marathon Unplugged Rescheduled for October 24th and 25th

New Date: October 24 and 25, 2020

Half Marathon Unplugged is now rescheduled to October 24th and 25th. If you’re currently registered for the April race, we will automatically transfer your registration to the new date, and you will not need to do anything. You also will be offered a virtual option or event transfer (to one of our other non-marathon events). For questions and concerns, please email us at info@runvermont.org. Like most folks, we’re now working remotely therefore the phones in our office will not be attended on a regular basis. We thank you for your patience and understanding. We’re also quite grateful that, with all the current impacts, we can still go for a run. 

As a current registrant we are providing you with 5 options:

OPTION 1: I'll Run On The New Date (4 Other Options Below). If you are planning to run on the new date, there is nothing you need to do on your end. Your registration will automatically be transferred to the new date. Thank you for your patience and best of luck with your training.

Here Are Your Options:

Run without the crowds. For the Virtual Option you run the half marathon distance on your own anywhere and anytime between April 11th and October 25th, and report your results.Take a selfie or two at the end and send them to us, along with either a picture of your GPS watch or an online training page showing your distance and time. We’ll include your result in the race results and send you your shirt and medal. We currently have a Virtual version of the race already enabled so all you need to do is transfer to the Virtual event. To complete your transfer, follow these steps:
1. Log into RunSignup.com and go to your profile: https://runsignup.com/Profile
2. Navigate to Profile > Upcoming Events > Manage Registration > Transfer Event
3. Select the 'Virtual Half Marathon' event

5. For detailed instructions please visit https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000062922-transfer-to-another-event and feel free to contact registration@runvermont.org

You can defer to the 2021 Half Marathon Unplugged. There is no fee for deferring; your registration fee will be used as a credit toward the 2021 race. NOTE: for those registered to run the 2 Person Relay, contact your Team Captain, who is the one who should defer your team. To defer, follow these steps:

Description

Welcome to our 14th annual Unplugged Half Marathon that runs along the Burlington Greenway (bike path), which is adjacent to Lake Champlain with the Adirondacks in the distance. Unplugged is an organized, basic services race -- in other words, No Frills, No Hills! You won’t see 30,000 spectators like the Vermont City Marathon, or hear bands along the way, but you WILL experience a scenic, very flat, half marathon race. This year's race format will be different. The race will be held over 2 days: October 24th and 25th, with 4 start waves each day. During the registration process you can select your preferred day and wave start time.

Relay Teams

Not up for the entire 13.1 miles? Then we have an option for you -- our 2-Person Relay where teammates get to split the half marathon distance however they'd like. Runner #1 can tag Runner #2 anywhere along the course although we expect Leddy Park in Burlington and Airport Park in Colchester to be popular. You decide as a team where you'd like that exchange to take place. Please note that relay teams are responsible for transporting runners to and from their exchange points. Check out our Course Description here.

Referral Rewards

Right after registering you will see a pop-up (see image below) with referral info and a special URL to share with your friends. If you miss this pop-up, don't worry -- Referral Rewards info and your special URL are also in your registration confirmation e-mail you'll see a minute or two after registering. Make sure your friends use your special URL to register so you can get credit!
