M. N. from Salt Lake City, UT (6/15/2003)
"Great small marathon with altitude" (about: 2003)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 2  FANS: 4


The new course that was adapted this year was a plus. The last 9 miles are semi-downhill - if you can make it from 14-17, which is a steady climb. Plenty of water and volunteers. The food wasn't where it was supposed to be, but this isn't the first race at which that has happened to me. My time was much better than I had planned. Previous runners had really warned me about the altitude, so I tried to train in higher elevation as much as possible. If you want a beautiful scenic run, this is it. You run a dirt trail half of the time, and get to share it with cows and horses. You also get to run through Park City, and by golf courses, chairlifts, and some pretty pricy houses. I didn't like the fact that there were no chips to keep my exact time. Maybe next year.

"You won't find a better small marathon" (General Comments)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 2


Very scenic course but fairly difficult. Save more energy for the last 10K than you would normally save. Organization was without flaw as far as I could tell. Jeff Galloway at the pasta supper was great. Volunteers on the course were great. If you don't mind running alone, this is a good one. Has the potential to become a major destination marathon.

"tuff hills at the end are killers" (about: 1999)


COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


was every thing that I had heard about this marathon and more. People giving aid were kind. easy firist half of race all down hill. Then the fun begins rolling hills. Then A BIG MOUNTAIN then level ground to lick your wounds on then your home. So much fun last year going to give it another go around in 2000.
