Northeast Kingdom Half and Full Marathon

02/02/2025

After much thought and consideration, we’ve made the decision to take a one-year break from the Northeast Kingdom Marathon in 2025. We want to ensure the race continues to be a great experience for everyone, and to do that, we need some time to grow and strengthen the team that organizes and manages the event.

We are incredibly grateful for all the racers, volunteers, and supporters who have made this event so special. We can't wait to see you all back in 2026 for an even better race!

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back in two years! 💙
