Covered Bridges Half Marathon
The Covered Bridges Half Marathon is a point-to-point road race held annually in Vermont on the first Sunday in June. The course covers a distance of 13.1 miles through the scenic landscape of New England, connecting several local communities. The race begins at the Saskadena Six Ski Area in Pomfret and concludes at Dewey Mills Field in Quechee.
Participants travel through the towns of Pomfret, Woodstock, and Hartford, as well as the villages of Woodstock and Quechee. The event has a strictly enforced time limit of 3 hours to ensure the safety of runners and to respect the schedules of local volunteers and traffic control services. Official finishing times are provided for all participants who complete the course within this three-hour window.
The event features several organized amenities for participants:
