Supports cancer research so it’s a good cause to begin with. After than its super well organized and smooth. The pre-race atmosphere was insanely energized. The course is meant to be friendly as it’s a charity race so don’t worry about super tough hills. If you like music, frozen powerade, and even a donut as you run through a bubble machine this is the race to do!

The climbs are fairly intense but not technical. This race didn’t have a lot of up and down running it’s Up for a long while, then down for a really long while and then back up again. final distance was closer to 7.2 than 6.2 miles. which was fine but I didn’t really plan on having a full extra mile. was grateful to have had a flask to carry along, to refill at the aid stations.

I found the first 10 miles to be fairly easy running. It was out/back course and those middle miles were where some inclines happen that kindof zapped me more than I thought.

As it is along a paved trail, faster runners will want to press up in the queue. There was some bunching for the first couple miles. Nothing terrible but I chose not to zig-zag my way through and it probably cost me a couple minutes.

This was my first ever marathon. If you are relatively new to marathons the 1.5% grade SOUNDS like it wouldn’t be to bad. However, it was relentless and that 13.1 miles back was grueling for me. If you’re an experienced road marathoner the dirt road was very well maintained and compact so that shouldn’t be an issue, it wasn’t for me. If you’re an experienced TRAIL marathoner, the dirt road has no rocks or technical aspects to it beyond having to turn on your headlamp in the tunnels.

That said, it was amazing, a beautiful course with great views even on the cloudy slightly damp day we had. You can see my struggle bus journey at the link below. Will do it again…..someday 🙂

I liked everything about the event from the expo to the race day festivities themselves. What I did not like was the 6am start time and having to use the shuttle buses. Having stayed south of town it was annoying to see that workers were setting up a ‘Runners Drop Area’ at the start line that I could have used but had to drive on into town anyways. All of the materials stated very clearly that there was NO drop off at the start lines so that was kindof frustrating. Shirt is nice, medal is heavy, and the weather and scenery are superb.
Let me sleep in just one extra hour and it would be a must do every year for certain.

Lot of up and down sections. Hill training is a must for this one. a good portion of the race follows views of the Spokane River. I had good weather at this one and having a hydration vest wasn’t necessary but it was nice to have between aid stations..
