On 7 June 2026, the 34th Covered Bridges Half Marathon once again delivers what’s often called the “best 13.1 miles in New England,” carrying runners from the start at Saskadena Six Ski Area down to the finish festival at Dewey Mills Field/Quechee Polo Field. The course follows quiet rural roads through classic Vermont scenery — farms, forests, riverside stretches and postcard villages — and takes runners past (and in some editions through) multiple historic covered bridges. The terrain is slightly net downhill but gently rolling, with a mix of small climbs and long, flowing descents that make it both scenic and reasonably fast. With a 3-hour time limit, strong local support, live music at several points and all proceeds benefiting Upper Valley nonprofits, it’s as much a community celebration as a race. Entry typically sells out quickly, adding to its reputation as a bucket-list early-summer half marathon.
