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 race offers runners stunning country views of farms, fields, and vistas. The challenging course features a demanding first half with significant climbs, including a steep half-mile hill gaining nearly 250 feet, followed by a mostly downhill second half.
The route includes paved and soft dirt roads, crossing the iconic Judds Bridge and running alongside a babbling brook. The event promotes sustainability with a cupless policy and provides aid stations. Post-race festivities include food, beverages, and an after-party at the distillery.
