RunVermont Half Marathon Unplugged
Fun Frills No Hills!
Celebrate the coming of spring with RunVermont’s Half Marathon Unplugged Presented by Switchback Brewing Co.
With a half marathon, 2-person relay, and virtual options there is something for every runner (and plenty of fun frills)! The course is fast and there are 7+ miles on the Burlington bike path overlooking the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Champlain. There are no major hills and if the wind is from the north you’ll get a little (legal) help. And if you're running in the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay on May 24th, this is an excellent race to add into your training. Unplugged gives you motivation to keep moving toward finishing the Marathon in May.
