About

The Champlain Islands Marathon & Half Marathon takes place in South Hero, Vermont, on October 18, 2026, with a marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km) and a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km), both starting at 8:30 a.m. Both are certified courses, scenic and flat to rolling, with the start and finish close to the former home of Clarence H. DeMar, seven-time winner of the Boston Marathon.

The fully paved route runs through the scenic countryside of South Hero and Grand Isle. Aid stations with water and electrolyte drinks are set up roughly every 3 km (just under 2 miles). Awards go to the top finishers in several categories, and every finisher receives a medal.
