Run Loco Marathon Reviews

  Challenging course

By Jennifer about 2018

Review

I ran this inaugural event. This course is the hardest road marathon I have done. My Garmin 935 measured a whopping 4100ft. elevation climb!!! Not a pr course. The last 2 miles were 2 long steep hills. But, plenty of support on course, friendly volunteers, well marked course. I had a fun day but wow! really hard. I ran into one of the race directors today and he told me that this year's race will have the course reversed. I think doing it that way would be more fun.

Race Tips

Run slower than your normal marathon pace, at least 30 seconds per mile to start. The hills will fatigue your legs. Do lots of hill training for this one.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

Park at the finish, take the free bus to the start.
