About

The M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay is Vermont's largest single-day sporting event and statistically one of the fastest marathons in the USA. The USATF-certified, Boston-qualifying two-loop course traverses the Church Street Marketplace and ten miles of bike path beside Lake Champlain with Adirondack Mountain views, passing through four of Burlington's parks. Organized by RunVermont, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the event also offers 2-person and 3-to-5-person relay options.
