 "One of my favorites" (about: 2005)
11-50 previous marathons
| 4-5 Ogden Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I'm getting hooked. I've run each of the Ogden Marathons. The organization keeps getting better. The course is perfect. Gentle down or flat. Only one hill at about 14. Not too bad. Then there is a fairly steep drop off the spillway for about a quarter mile, but nothing special. Very scenic course. Friendly spectators. | |

"Better than Boston" (about: 2005)
11-50 previous marathons
| 4-5 Ogden Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This is hands down my favorite marathon. I've run every Ogden from the first and it just keeps getting better. The course is the most leg friendly I have ever run. There aren't a lot of people cheering but my favorite 'fans' are the horses that run along their fence lines with you as you run through the beautiful rural farmland. The only criticism I have is for the T shirts. Every year the design is about as bland as you can imagine. I've offered to design them myself! You'll love this course, though - and the whole race is very well organized. | |

"My favorite marathon yet!" (about: 2005)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Ogden Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was the BEST marathon ever!! The running gods must have been smiling on me or something. The weather was perfect, the scenery was gorgeous, and the course was excellent. On the trails they marked the uneven path with fluorescent paint, very nice!! I too bombed at Salt Lake City Marathon the month before, so I was a bit worried about this race. I will DEFINITELY be back next year, no matter how far I have to travel!! Loved it!! Keep up the great work, Todd and co.!! | |

 "My Favorite Marathon Course" (about: 2005)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Ogden Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 I ran this marathon because I bombed in the Salt Lake Marathon the month before. I couldn't believe the difference. The course was beautiful from start to finish. I didn't realize how dreary parts of the Salt Lake were until I ran this. The decent through Ogden Canyon was right were I needed it to help pull me along. I was a bit afraid for my knees but had no problems whatsoever. The finish was a beautiful park (not a parking lot). I have run Top of Utah, Grandma's, and Salt Lake and would have to say this was my favorite course of the four. My only complaint was the lack of information in the race packet. They didn't include times for the bus or a map. I would definitely recommend this marathon! | |

"FANTASTIC - what a great first-marathon course!" (about: 2005)
First Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 Loved it from start to finish! Will run this one every year. The community support was awesome and what a beautiful, spiritual, fast-paced course. The elk along the course added to the beauty. The only suggestion is that the 'host' hotels should have more info regarding the race with maps of the race, amenities for the runners, etc... Overall, was FANTASTIC and I will bring friends next year to experience the awesomeness of this marathon. | |

"Great Course" (about: 2005)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 The scenery was great and the gentle downhill course made for a great run. Organized well; plenty of liquid and goodies at the well placed stations. Small but supportive crowd. | |

"Great Small-Town Marathon in all Respects." (about: 2005)
11-50 previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This was my first race at any altitude much above sea level.... I paid the price. Other than having to slow down due to the altitude, everything about this race was first-class in my opinion. The organization was topnotch with nary a hitch to be seen... at least none that I encountered. The weather was superb... upper 40's at the start, upper 60s near the finish. The course itself was gorgeous, the most scenic that I have ever run, making the miles click by quite rapidly in spite of having to slow a bit due to not being acclimated. I would love to come back and do this one again. I think giving myself time to acclimate would make this is a PR course. Be sure to train for the declines though. Although this is basically a 'rural' marathon, I was surprised with the crowd support along the way. The post-race party was very nice as well, with lots of food, live band, fun festive atmosphere. I can't think of any changes I would suggest.... I will likely go back and run this one again! | |

"Perfect race" (about: 2005)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Ogden Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Best marathon I have run. The organization was first-class, with great aid stations. The volunteers were wonderful. The course is perfect - a little downhill, but not too much. Spectacular scenery during the entire run. I will be running this marathon every year. | |

 "A good course" (about: 2005)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Ogden Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 1 I think this was a great course for the marathon. Although I am from Ireland and did not have the best of days with the heat, altitude and descents, I am sure it is a marathon to do a P.B on. The only little problem is the is there need to be more supporters on the course and towards the finish. -Robert Flannery Dingle, Ireland |
