Race Overview
The USATF-certified (VT24002JK) marathon and half marathon begin and end at Folsom Elementary School in South Hero, VT, near the former home of Clarence H. DeMar, seven-time Boston Marathon winner. The half marathon course is out and back along the west shore of South Hero and Grand Isle, through farms, apple orchards, and summer cottages, with flat to rolling, entirely paved terrain. The marathon is two laps of the half marathon course. Start/finish elevation is about 190 feet, with a high point of 210 feet (miles 1 and 25) and a low point of 100 feet. The marathon cutoff is 6 hours; the half marathon cutoff is 4 hours. The course qualifies for Boston Marathon entry. The race was formerly named the Green Mountain Marathon; its current certification (VT24002JK) supersedes the earlier certification issued under that name.
