​NH - VT Covered Bridge Half Marathon
16.2 Mile Race
5K

April 15, 2021 Update:
​Since the Race route includes miles in both New Hampshire and Vermont, the Race Committee has worked to make sure it will meet each state's different COVID-19 restrictions to ensure the health and safety of the runners and volunteers.  As a result, we are excited to confirm that we can hold this year's race on June 19, 2021.

Due to the remaining restrictions, the race will look different this year.  The Start time will utilize a self-reported time trial format with staggered start times.  Masks and social distancing will be required when not running.  We will not be able to provide the Relay Team events, and our traditional Finish Line festivities, such as the Award Ceremony, live bluegrass band, food booth, and complimentary massages.
A certificate of completion with the runner's individual time will be emailed to finishers and linked to the Millennium Running results page. 
What will not be changing this year are the opportunities to:

• Run on our scenic course which includes a covered bridge connecting both states.
• Help raise much needed funds to support the important programs of the Kiwanis Club of Colebrook.
• Experience the enthusiasm of our many volunteers.
• Experience the unique adventure of spending time in the beautiful northern most corners of New Hampshire and Vermont.

​See you June 19th, 2021!
