Details
Formerly known as the Field House Half Marathon and sponsored by the
local Shelburne Athletic Club, which hosts a active
slate of 14 races throughout the year in this small Vermont town just
south of Burlington, the autumn RaceVermont.com Half Marathon takes
runners on a
figure-eight-style course that boasts some of the region’s
most beautiful scenic views. The race welcomes about 200 participants
every year, and features of mix of both paved and hard-packed dirt
trails, making it something of a combination road/trail race event.
Along the 13.1-mile course, which begins at the area known as the
“Field House” in Shelburne, runners are treated to
sights including Lake Champlain, Shelburne Falls, the Shelburne Bay and
Shelburne Farms, a 1,400-acre working farm and national historic
landmark that doubles as an environmental preservation education
center.
The race is open to both individual runners and relay teams, which are
comprised of 2 people. The course features plenty of rolling hills but
no dramatic changes in elevation, and the race (for both individuals
and relay team runners) starts at 8:00 AM.

Weather & Climate
The month of November brings cold, crisp weather to the Shelburne area,
which lies next to the coast of Lake Champlain in mountainous
northwestern Vermont. Area temperatures during the month average
between 30°F and 44°F, while precipitation averages
just over 3 inches – which usually means snowfall.
