Field House Fall 5K/10K & Half Marathon

Field House Fall 5K/10K & Half Marathon is based at the Shelburne Field House in Shelburne, Vermont, on October 24, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 8 a.m. on a loop of dirt roads and back roads that passes Meach Cove and Shelburne Farms with views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. The 10K and the 5K both start at 9 a.m. and run out and back along Harbor Road; the 5K is mostly flat, while the 10K takes on a few rolling sections.

Dirt roads sit somewhere between road and trail: the footing is firm enough for a road shoe, but the surface eats a little pace, so judge the day by effort. That makes the half a good honest-effort race rather than a flat-course personal best attempt. Twelve weeks of consistent running with one weekly long run, ideally some of it on unpaved roads, will have you ready.
