Run Vermont City

Run Vermont City is held on May 22, 2027, in Burlington, Vermont. The marathon (26.2 mi) is announced with 231 metres of climbing and is run solo, in relay teams and as a wheelchair race, alongside shorter road races of two miles, one mile and a children's mini marathon.

Two hundred and thirty metres of climbing spread over a marathon is modest in total but rarely flat in practice, and Burlington's rises come late in the course when they cost most. Save something for the last ten kilometres rather than banking time early — on a profile like this, the runners who finish well are almost always the ones who were slightly behind schedule at halfway.
