Get to run on the cart paths of two world class golf courses for the first half. Gorgeous mountain views. Great volunteer support. Get to stay warm in the beautiful Sunriver Lodge prior to the start (real toilets) The start is very easy due to just 86 runners. Need to deal with cyclists, children and tourists who don't know that they are on a marathon course for the 2nd half. But not a big problem. Seemed to always be at least another runner nearby. Try it - you'll love it.

Just 86 marathoners completed this year's race, and about three times as many half-marathoners. The weather was great, in the mid-30's when we started at 7:00 and around 70 when I finished at 11:30. The higher elevation (around 4500 feet) will probably keep you from a PR, but it was quite beautiful.

Great run if you like stunning scenery and don't care about spectators.
The course is on very nice trails in three resort areas. The first 1/2 is especially beautiful.
COLD, but be aware, it was 37 degrees at the start.
Great finish area and food choices.
You get a shirt at the expo and another one at the finish, along with a nice medal and a glass.
VERY GOOD VALUE.
