The Experience

The Union Bank Field House Fall Half Marathon winds through picturesque Shelburne, Vermont, offering a scenic escape. The loop course begins and ends at the Shelburne Field House, taking runners along a mix of dirt and back roads. Highlights include passing Shelburne Farms and a stretch of Harbor Road with beautiful views of Lake Champlain and the distant Adirondacks.

While the half marathon course is primarily road with some dirt sections, the 5K and 10K are out-and-back on Harbor Road. The half marathon is noted for its ~0 ft elevation gain and loss, suggesting a relatively flat profile, though the 10K does include a couple of hills. The race typically sees around 160 finishers, with participants traveling from approximately 21 states.

First run in 2007, this event is now in its 8th edition. Despite its scenic setting, one runner noted a lack of community feeling, suggesting it may be a more low-key affair. The typical race-day weather is cool, with average temperatures between 47–58°F.
