Saturday, April 27, 2019 • Essex Center, VT • Course Map

Sponsored by the Green Mountain Athletic Association, a Vermont-based organization devoted to running enthusiasts of all ages and abilities, the Rollin Irish Half Marathon welcomes a few hundred runners for the race each spring, which usually follows a snowy winter season in this town set in the northwestern corner of the state, just a few miles east of Burlington.

The course for the half marathon is a slightly over-long 13.11 miles, and winds through scenic — and hilly — dirt roads along a mostly rural race route. Exactly 100 runners crossed the finish line in last year’s race.

The start and finish lines for the race are at the intersection of Chapin and Towers Roads, where the race begins at 9:00 AM. The elevation changes for the race range from the start & finish line at 485 feet, to a low of 290 feet around mile 5 and a high of 730 feet around mile 9.

Organizers say that runners should expect to keep a healthy pace, expecting to finish by 2 hours, 40 minutes. The race course closes at 11:40 AM.
