A nice scenic marathon that loops through the city of Burlington. The first 3.3 miles is run through tree-lined, residential streets and Burlington?s pedestrian Marketplace where an enthusiastic crowd of spectators will inspire you. You will head out and back on the Northern Connector, 5.4 miles of divided highway closed to traffic, giving you a chance to see all the leaders and thousands more. Passing through the Marketplace a second time, you will proceed on a 6.4 mile loop toward Burlington?s South end, and return via the lakeside bike path. Climbing the 1/4 mile hill on Battery Street (Mile 15 ? Assault on Battery), musicians and throngs of spectators will provide welcome encouragement. The next 7 miles takes you out North Ave on gently rolling terrain. The final 4 miles are flat to slightly downhill as you run on the lakeside bike path into the Finish at Waterfront Park.
The average start temperature for May 29 is 46 dregrees. The average finish temperature is 71 degrees. There are aid stations at the start, every 1.5 miles (approximately) throughout the course, and at the finish. Each station will have water, gatorade, medical staff and radio operators. There will be food and energy bars at some stations on the course.
The race starts at Battery Park in Burlington, VT.
