Vermont’s Sweetest Half Marathon
The Middlebury Maple Run is a USATF-certified half marathon. Beautiful, scenic routes with views of the Green Mountains and Adirondacks. A mix of trail (10%) paved (45%) and dirt roads (45%) for the half marathon. Well organized, great swag, inspiring music on course, post-race complimentary breakfast with bagels, fruit, coffee, tea, and juice and a finishers medal.
Don’t miss this opportunity to cap your fall racing season with this foliage run!
Runners love the Maple Run’s beautiful and varied half marathon course! Starting with a large loop down residential South Street and Weybridge Street then out scenic Morgan Horse Farm Road into the farmlands of Weybridge. Runners loop back to town on Sheep Farm Road, a flat gravel road with gorgeous views back toward town and Middlebury College!
From there, runners cross through campus and then hit a stretch of the Trail Around Middlebury (TAM), before rejoining South Street extension.
The final 6± miles is an out/back stretch on the hilly (but beautiful) South Street Extension, on a mostly gravel road with stunning pastoral views of the Green Mountains.

Caters to the half, not the 5k crowd

Beautiful course through the golf course and nice trail running. Absolutely no water on the 5K route. First 5K ever without water in our experience. Swag was an empty bag. Seriously, an empty bag. No t-shirt included in $50 sign up fee. No clue what the race was supporting. There was no one at the start to provide this info in a professional manner. A bit disorganized. Great weather on this day. If you are a half marathoner it might be worth it. Otherwise, not so much. There were post race Vermont style bagels and fruit.

A Favorite race to run every year – this year with added trail hill in the middle. Well supported and run race, with lovely wooden carved medals. This year my first time pacing it, which made it more fun to help encourage folks on their first try.

Love this race, as a transplant to Vermont, the race showcases the wonderful scenery and the great group of people that help make this race happen – well run and who can say no to free pancakes and local made maple syrup at the end?

This was a small town race of about 400 runners. The course is both road and packed dirt through a lot of farm land. There are a good many rolling hills. The reason I chose this race was that they have a maple syrup pancake breakfast once you finish and the medal is made out of a piece of cut maple tree. Carry your on fluids as there are only a bare minimum of water/gatorade stops.
