Adamant Half Marathon 2026
The Adamant Half Marathon is a challenging but rewarding small-town Vermont race that attracts runners seeking scenic beauty over speed—1,547 feet of rolling elevation through gorgeous fall foliage, covered bridges, and farm country makes this course far more memorable than any flat course, though it's decidedly not a PR-friendly terrain. CV Runners delivers excellent organization despite their modest size, with well-stocked aid stations staffed by genuinely enthusiastic volunteers who help carry runners through the grinding uphill stretches between miles 5 and 9. While the heavy elevation gain, limited swag, and sparse crowd support may deter those chasing personal records or big-race amenities, first-timers and experienced hill runners alike praise the authentic Vermont experience, welcoming atmosphere, and excellent value.
