This was my 36th marathon and it's one of my favorites. It was the most difficult marathon I have ever run but I am very glad that I ran it. I loved running on a soft, hard-packed dirt road for 24 miles. The scenery was spectacular. Great organization, an extremely nice race director and good volunteers. I recommend this one for the 50-staters.

This was my last of 50 states, and one of the smallest, but one of the best organized. The scenery was spectacular! The only "spectators" were the kind volunteers who manned the 12 aid stations through thunder, lightning, rain and hail. Mil gracias to all of them! Trail runners will love this race. City slickers like myself better leave their racing flats at home. :)

What a great group of people in Green River. We loved this race, the organization, the support people, and snacks along the course. It is a tough, hilly course, but I never thought of quitting. The support at each H2O stop was unbelievable.!! Such nice folks.

A special thanks to Ellen ONeal, race director for the well organized race. Anyone that passes up this race, is truly missing a great time. Plan on going back next year.

If you are the typical marathon runner looking for your typical marathon, this probably isn't the marathon for you. However, if you are looking for an adventure run over a course that is like no other you need to give this marathon a try (weatherwise almost anything can happen during the run and it did during the 2006 race).

The overall organization for this race was excellent. For example, there were water stops located exactly at every second mile marker. These stops always had a choice of water or Gatorade as well as food items in the later stages of the race. In addition, you definitely will see wild horses if you want to take the time to look.

A technical running shirt was given to those that registered. At the finish, they provided a very nice finisher's medal as well as a variety of refreshments. The different programs that were offered to runners both before and after the race were also very enjoyable (although I would recommend having sheltered locations during times of inclement weather).

If you don't need a race to set a PR or qualify for Boston, I highly recommend this race for its true adventure and overall enjoyment. You will not be disappointed.

The idea of the wild horses captured my attention so I decided to try the marathon... and I'm glad that I did! The scenery was spectacular! The vistas of the deserts below are stunning! I also saw many wild horses... some running and enjoying the cool weather... others just curious. The trail was dirt, but well maintained. The location in Green River was close enough for my friend and me to make a trip up to the Tetons and Yellowstone. The support staff was so encouraging. The race director was great! I enjoyed my experience and would recommend this marathon to anyone.

Well, of the past 54 marathons I have done, this rates as one of the top 5 toughest ones. Course is very tough. But had a great time, and plan to go back next year. The race director does such a great job, and I can't say enough great things about the support people of Green River. So friendly and helpful, even through the cool, wet weather. Rain and thunderstorms most of the day - even had a hail storm. The dirt road got pretty muddy in a few places on the hilly course. But the support people stayed out there till everyone finished. Oh, yes, and don't forget we got to see wild horses.

The age group awards are horseshoes, so unusual. This is a great race, just don't understand why it remains such a small race. I highly suggest this race for a nice challenge. Thanks again, Green River, and to the race director, Ellen.

I wanted to run a marathon in WY. I am glad that that I picked this race. The scenery was picturesque. If you want a large crowd, this is not the race. If you want to run in nice country with friendly people, this is the race. The race is still small enough that you get personal attention. (Thanks Ellen!) I will be back.

My friend and his 10-year-old son from Salt Lake City accompanied me to the race; we all enjoyed the Friday night festival, the food, the games, music and conversation with locals ? a very good family event. Saturday while I was pounding out the miles, my two friends had a free waffle breakfast at the Super 8 Motel (very clean and quiet rooms) and then moseyed over to the park again, played more games and waited for me to finish. Meanwhile, I was shuffling along, huffing and puffing in the too-thin, too-clean air (I?m from Los Angeles area) trying to keep up with Ron from Laramie. THANK goodness for his coaching, encouragement and conversation; this was a great diversion from the long miles of ?wide open spaces?. The road was hard packed dirt, no wind, no rain, and not too hot ? no inclement weather conditions. All of the volunteers were wonderful and friendly supplying Pringles and Gatorade at the water stops. There were NO spectators even in the city; Ron and I ran down the middle of the streets like we owned the place. I was thrilled to discover that I had ?won? a Master?s Women award certificate and thrilled to find watermelon at the food table ? thank you, thank you. The shirts were nice, the medal was nice, the free shower at the recreation center was especially nice and the whole weekend was thoroughly fun. Take the whole family and enjoy!

I saw 57 wild horses: everyone who ran this race. If you looked close enough you would have seen my poop on the side of the road. Yes I was marking my turf. This is a kick-butt marathon! I am glad I made this one! The race organizer Ellen O'Neall is first-class and more than willing to address any questions. True this is a new marathon, but they are more than interested in making this a better event. Very challenging course and uniquely beautiful. Close to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. Go!!

What attracted me to this race, was its name 'Run with the Horses Marathon'. I just had to do this. Tough course but I loved it. This was my 9th marathon. Spectacular scenery. Did not see any horses either. Probably got scared off by the front runners. Did see a few rabbits though. Pasta and shrimp dinner the night before was well planned. Plenty of shrimp. Organizers and volunteers did an excellent job for a small marathon. Aid stations were well stocked. Plenty of post race snacks. If you are looking for a marathon in this area, I would definitely consider this one.
