Champlain Islands Marathon and Half Marathon
The 55th GMAA Champlain Islands Marathon and Half Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026, with location listed as Folsom Elementary School in South Hero, Vermont.
The certified course (VT24002JK) begins and ends near the house where a seven-time Boston Marathon winner once lived. The half marathon is an out-and-back route along the west shore of South Hero and Grand Isle. The route passes farms, apple orchards, and summer cottages. Terrain is described as flat to rolling, and the entire course is on paved roads. The full marathon follows two laps of the half marathon course.
Additional event details note the local setting on the Lake Champlain islands and the use of a certified course layout. Participants should expect rural and lakeside scenery along mostly low-traffic paved roads.
