There isn’t one thing I don’t like about this race.. I love it! Wish I lived closer to run that course year around.. It’s pretty much down hill until mile 10 then theirs a little bump on the course about a quarter of a mile then its a gradual down hill CLEAR to the finish into a beautiful little park with a creek running though it..

It’s a real shame that more runners don’t get to experience the stunning scenery of this race. The first half of the marathon descends down through the Lamoille Canyon scenic byway, complete with peaks speckled with snow, spruce, and aspen trees. The second half was down in the valley with rolling hills, some rather long. It was really a tale of two races. Now for the bad part: in this year’s race, aid stations were three miles apart, which got to be somewhat long after it warmed up, and half of them only had water, with no Gaterade or Powerade. Feedback was provided to the race director though, so hopefully these lapses will be remedied in the future. If you decide to do this race, spend some time to explore the trails in the canyon. I saw marmots, chipmunks, lots of birds, and mountain goats on one of the side trails the week before the marathon.
