Tips for Visiting During Marathon Weekend

Expect road closures & plan your route
The marathon course runs throughout Burlington, which means detours and limited access in some areas. Be sure to review the official route and allow extra time if you're heading downtown.

Choose the best viewing locations
Spectators can catch the race from several نقاط along the course. The Lake Champlain waterfront offers scenic views, while Church Street Marketplace delivers a more energetic race-day atmosphere.

Make restaurant reservations early
Marathon weekend is one of the busiest times for Burlington restaurants. If you’re planning brunch, dinner, or post-race drinks, booking ahead will save you time and hassle.

Stay just outside downtown for a better experience
Hotels in downtown Burlington fill quickly and come with increased traffic and noise. Choosing lodging just outside the city center gives you easier access and a more relaxing stay. Check Lakeshore Vermont Inn & Suites Availability.
