Mine Hill Half Marathon

The Mine Hill Half Marathon, held in Roxbury, Connecticut, is known as the toughest road half marathon in the state. Starting and finishing at the scenic Mine Hill Distillery, the challenging 13.1-mile course features a mix of paved and dirt roads with significant elevation changes, including a steep climb to the highest point at the halfway mark, followed by a mostly downhill return. Runners enjoy beautiful rural views of farms, fields, and the Shepaug River.

The event promotes sustainability with cupless aid stations and offers finisher medals, awards, and a festive post-race celebration with food, beverages, and live music. A gravel bike challenge is also held concurrently. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
