Vermont City Relays

Vermont City Relay & Marathon

We sent two 2-person and three 5-person relay teams up to Burlington, VT for the 2006 relay, and three members ran the marathon this year. See the results in the link above.

Course Description
The course features a running tour through several of Burlington's finest (and shadiest) neighborhoods. You will enjoy spectacular views of Lake Champlain and experience the legendary friendliness and enthusiasm of the Burlington community. This USAT&F certified course starts in Battery Park, overlooking Lake Champlain and the Adirondack mountains. The first 3.3 miles run through tree-lined, residential streets and Burlington's pedestrian Marketplace where an enthusiastic crowd of spectators will inspire you. You will head out and back on the Northern Connector, 5.4 miles of divided highway closed to traffic, giving you a chance to see all the leaders and thousands more. Passing through the Marketplace a second time, you will proceed on a 6.4 mile loop toward Burlington's South end, and return via the lakeside bike path. Climbing the 1/4 mile hill on Battery Street (Mile 15 - Assault on Battery), musicians and throngs of spectators will provide welcome encouragement. The next 7 miles takes you out North Ave on gently rolling terrain. The final 4 miles are flat to slightly downhill as you run on the lakeside bike path into the Finish at Waterfront Park.
