The Marathon

‍

This incredibly scenic Boston qualifier course starts at Dancing Moose Farm in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains at an elevation of 5400 ft. with open roads, green fields, and a beautiful river. The final half winds around Pineview Reservoir then drops into Ogden Canyon where you will run along the roaring Ogden River with breathtaking views of pine-covered slopes and steep rock cliffs. The course ends downtown Ogden on Historic 25th street at an elevation of 4,309 Ft. and an incredible finish line festival that is great for the whole family. The gentle downhill makes this event a fast Boston Qualifier, and is one of the many reasons why Runner's World and shape.com named it One of the Best Courses in America for First-Time Marathon Runners.
