Burlington – September 23, 2026 -- RunVermont is redesigning the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay course and adding a standalone half marathon option, with both changes debuting Sunday, May 30, 2027.

A half marathon joins the race lineup for the first time

Runners will be able to register for a new capped-field half marathon, giving solo participants a shorter distance option. The existing 3-5 Person and 2 Person Relays, presented by Darn Tough Vermont, will continue for those who prefer to tackle the full marathon as a team.
