Course Description

Beginning and ending at picturesque Shelburne Beach, you will run along dirt, gravel and paved roads featuring scenic views of Vermont countryside and rural farmland.

Points of Interest

• Charlotte Beach: Run past Charlotte Beach situated on beautiful Lake Champlain just before entering the Holmes Creek Covered Bridge for the first time.
• Scenic Views: The course continues on quiet, rolling hills before arriving at the turnaround.
• Half Marathon Route: The half marathon runs through the covered bridge twice.
• 5K and 10K Options: The 5K and 10K turn around before reaching the bridge (although it’s not that far beyond the 10K turnaround, so if you want to run through it, it’s not going to add that much to your finish time for 10K runners).
