About the Champlain Islands Half Marathon

The half starts and finishes at Folsom Elementary and is separately timed from the accompanying marathon on the same island road network.

Course

A low-elevation road route follows the west shore through open agricultural scenery, with gentle changes between roughly 100 and 210 feet.

Race-day weather

Mid-October can be cool and colorful, but lake wind, rain or an early cold snap may make exposed island miles feel substantially colder.
