About the Saucony Charlotte Covered Bridge Half Marathon & 5k/10k
The course starts and finishes at Shelburne Beach, running out along a mix of dirt, gravel, and paved roads through open farmland and quiet countryside. It passes Charlotte Beach on Lake Champlain before reaching Holmes Creek Covered Bridge. The terrain rolls gently throughout, with no serious climbing. Half marathon runners pass through the covered bridge on the way out and again on the return.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a local running store in Essex Junction, where you can also grab a friend's bib. Race-morning check-in is at Shelburne Beach, with the window for shorter distances opening after the half marathon runners have settled in.

The Saucony Charlotte Covered Bridge Half Marathon & 5k/10k has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
