Runners in the half marathon start their out-and-back loop course on the campus of the College of St. Joseph, just off Dorr Drive. From there, they follow a clockwise loop route, northward from Rutland all the way to Proctor and back, finishing about a mile from the starting line along Merchants Row in downtown Rutland. Along the way, runners get to see the scenery for which this part of Vermont is so well known, from the Green Mountains to the river valley and farm fields all around.
