Beautiful small town race.

This is a beautiful small town race. Be prepared for the elevation (7000+ feet). All of the volunteers were very friendly. I enjoyed the hard packed dirt road. Temperatures were perfect. Nice medal and many runners ended up getting an age group award. Even though there were only 61 full marathoners, you seldom felt alone as the 1/2 marathoners were running the opposite direction. I would highly recommend this race. Ouray is a gorgeous town and would highly recommend taking a jeep tour after the race!

Pretty muddy mess

It rained all week before the race, and I overslept 20 minutes! However, the staff did a great job salvaging what they could out of it!

Great scenic race very well organized

I am a flat lander from Georgia and ran this as part of my 50 states. If you like a small town marathon in a great location with great people, this is it. Never mind the few spectators, the course (though a bit tough) is mostly on dirt roads reducing the pounding on the joints, the support and water stops were just great! If you come from flat lands though, you need to acclimate as you run in 7000-7700 feet of altitude and you will suck air. Nevertheless, I can highly recommend this one. Free beer at the finish, nice awards 3 deep in each age group and cool restaurants and pubs in Ouray make this a unforgettable event in my book.
