Kingdom Run is an out & back race on a well-maintained dirt road (pavement to get out of the village) with few houses and low vehicular traffic. The race begins and ends on the quaint and historic Irasburg Common.
Runners and walkers may opt for a 5K or 10K event. Hills are small to moderate with gradual inclines; the increase in elevation being on the way out.
A Half Marathon event offers more challenging terrain to long distance runners with three half-mile sections of incline (but no monster hills) at the 4 mile mark, the 5 mile mark and on the return 7.5 mile mark. Trees provide shade along much of the route.
Water stations are located at the 5K, 10K and half marathon turn-around points as well as at the 5 (and 9) mile mark.
Irasburg is located 4 miles west of I-91 Exit 26 in Orleans, Vermont.
