"Super awesome marathon!" (about: 2013)

COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


The course is beautiful and the weather was perfect! The stations along the way were great and there were all sorts of fun spectators playing music and cheering us on for the last 5 miles or so.

"Super-Fun Marathon!" (about: 2013)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Huntsville Utah Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This is the 6th marathon I've run, and the 2nd time I've tried to qualify for Boston. It was such a beautiful course, the volunteers were absolutely phenomenal, and the weather was so perfect that missing my qualifying time by 2 mins wasn't devastating. I had a great time & will definitely run this marathon again!

"My second half marathon and LOVED it!" (about: 2013)

1 previous marathon | 1 Huntsville Utah Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


Loved the course! LOVED the volunteers! Very impressed by their attendance and help! Wish there had been more port-a-potties at mile 6...there was a line for that one. Loved the community out playing for us! Bag pick up after race was amazingly smooth! Great refreshments/snacks after as well! The shirts were great! It's always hard to decide what size to get..sometimes the shirts run too small. Great medals too!

"Well organized on a beautiful course" (about: 2013)

2 previous marathons | 1 Huntsville Utah Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


My first marathon, and I could not have picked a better course. Last year I did the half, so I knew what to expect. There were less spectators than last year - possibly due to the chilly weather.
 

M. H. from Salt Lake City, UT (10/14/2013)
"great event! more traffic control needed." (about: 2013)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Huntsville Utah Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


Great starting area, and very good traffic control until mile 18 when traffic was allowed to become two-way, which forced runners onto the shoulder off the paved road. It was actually dangerous at a couple of points in the race, and we had to stop or slow down to avoid traffic. I was a five-hour finisher, so faster runners probably did not have this problem. Great aid stations and finish line area!

"Very nice Marathon" (about: 2013)

4-5 previous marathons | 1 Huntsville Utah Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


It was a wonderful gentle downhill course with beautiful mountain views. Aid stations were very well stocked and every two miles.
 

C. D. from Utah (10/14/2013)
"My new favorite marathon!" (about: 2013)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Huntsville Utah Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This race has everything. The course is fast and downhill, the scenery is absolutely amazing, the organization is professional and well done, and the volunteers are second to none. I have done a number of Utah marathons but this has been by far my favorite. As long as you get some good downhill training in, this will be a PR for you...guaranteed!

"Beautiful course, great volunteers!" (about: 2013)

Hard to believe that this was only their 2nd year. Well organized event. It was a blast!
 

R. K. from Utah (10/14/2013)
"One of my favorites" (about: 2013)

4-5 previous marathons
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I was so impressed with this race. It was organized and well run. The aid stations were fantastic, with a great variety of 'aid.' The course was pretty. The finish line was organized and not crowded like others I've done. I liked how the drop bags were organized and how there were volunteers retrieving them so that it wasn't a big free for all mess. I thought the kids run was great well thought out, safe, and organized. My boy talked about it all day long. I'll run this again!
