Half Marathon Unplugged
About this race
Welcome to our 21st Annual Half Marathon Unplugged that runs along the Burlington Greenway (bike path), which is adjacent to Lake Champlain with the Adirondacks in the distance. You won’t see 25,000 spectators or hear bands along the way, like with the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay, but you WILL experience a scenic, very flat, half marathon race, with some fun frills along the way and especially at the finish festival. It's fun frills, no hills!
This is a perfect 'training race' for those running the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon on May 30th. The racecourse is point-to-point, starting at Airport Park in Colchester and finishing near Switchback Brewing on Flynn Avenue in Burlington. There will be three water stations along the course and at the finish, as well as a post-race party at Switchback. This is a certified course with individual net timing by chip. Two start waves for 2027: 9 AM and 10:15 AM.
