Event
Details
This year marked the 24th annual running of Vermont's Leaf Peepers Half
Marathon, timed to coincide each year with the fall foliage viewing
season in
this tiny town in the northern half of the state (population 1,076),
which
is perhaps best known as the home of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream,
whose factory is Vermont's most popular tourist attraction.
The 13.1-mile course for the race takes the 900 runners who participate
in the race each year through some of Vermont's most scenic country
backroad areas, through the towns of Waterbury and Duxbury. The terrain
for the race is described by the organizers as "rolling," and is mostly
run along dirt trails -- it's 70% dirt and 30% paved road.
