This 26.2 mile marathon trail run will take place on the single track dirt trails along with some sections of mowed meadow trails in the rolling hills of Moorehead Park. Participants can expect challenging hills and beautiful scenery while running well-marked and maintained trails. You will be running on some old stage coach trails that will take you past the first homestead which served as the stage coach stop, church, and doctor/hospital. Pay your respects as you visit the cemetery of our first settlers, check out some old farm equipment, visit an old train depot, and run past a one room school house.
This Moorehead Park Trail Mazathon will consist of three 8.8 mile loops with the option of signing up for the 1/3 mazathon which consists of one loop for 8.8 miles, the 2/3 mazathon which consists of two loops for 17.6 miles, or the full mazathon which consists of 3 loops for 26.2 miles.
Finisher medals will be awarded to all distances for Mazathon finishers.
If you check out the course map you will see the elevation at around 600 ft. of climb which is not accurate. The actual elevation climb per loop is right around 1000 ft.
In order to help you prepare for your run and perhaps meet and mingle with fellow runners and volunteers we will offer a spaghetti meal at packet pick-up. The meal will be available from on Friday at the conservation center. This will be a FREE WILL DONATION! If you like you can bring along your favorite beverage to enjoy. We will provide water and ice tea.
This event will be held in conjunction with the Trail of the Dragon 50k/50 Mile Run.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Ida County Conservation Foundation. The Foundations mission is dedicated to fostering relationships between residents and our natural world.
