About the Colchester Causeway 5K, 10K & 15K Running Race

The race starts at Airport Park and heads out onto the Colchester Causeway, a historic path that stretches over Lake Champlain. The surface is dirt and gravel the whole way. Wetlands border the trail on both sides, and the mountain views open up once you are out on the water. Each distance has its own turn-around point, so everyone runs the same stretch of causeway.

The start area is Airport Park, where you also finish. Post-race refreshments are set up there after you come in. Staggered wave starts mean the different distances go off a few minutes apart, so the trail does not get congested at the beginning.

Common Questions About the Colchester Causeway 5K, 10K & 15K Running Race

Will I finish last at the Colchester Causeway 5K, 10K & 15K Running Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:09, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:36, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Colchester Causeway 5K, 10K & 15K Running Race a good first 5K?

It is a small race (147 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Colchester Causeway 5K, 10K & 15K Running Race?

The 5K winner ran 20:10 while the median finisher took 33:09. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
