DO NOT DRIVE this course before (because you may back out once you see what you are going to run up!). But, I promise it is worth it. I would do it again next weekend if I could.
The first five miles are quite the climb. The steepest is mile 5, at the end of the climb. It is brutal, but the views get better as you climb higher. It was so beautiful that I was tearing up in gratitude that I get to do this.
Miles 6-9, you get a glorious payday for all the hard work you have done. The roaring downhills overlooking Glacier National Park are incredible.
Mile 10 has some nice down but also has a little climbing too. Mile 11 is a tough climb. I was warned about mile 11, so I held back on the downhill so I didn’t burn up my legs. The last 3/4 mile is trail, and some of it is through high grass, which derails plans for a fast finish.
Glacier Half needs to be on your bucket list! I highly recommend it as a training run and not for time so you can enjoy the views.
