Course Description
The Huntsville Marathon course is downhill starting at just above 8,700 feet and descending approximately 3,800 feet to just above 4,900 feet.

Although the course has a significant downhill grade, it starts at a very high elevation which can adversely affect finishing times for those not sufficiently acclimated to elevation.

If your quads and lungs survive, the course can be very fast.

Altitude!

Full Review:

Well organized race with beautiful mountain views. High school student volunteers at every aid stations that were very high energy.

Race Tips:

If you are not trained for altitude, don't expect a PR/PB. Just enjoy the scenery. The second half flattens out quite a bit as the scenery turns to farmlands. Save energy for it.

Travel/Logistics Tips:

Stayed at a hotel right at the start/finish area. Only a few burger and taco joints in Huntsville. Decent food options in Ogden (30 min drive).

Full Review:

Stunning beauty. Very well organized, couldn't believe all the amenities for newer organization.

Race Tips:

First several miles felt like I was holding back, conserving energy for later miles but the splits were still coming back pretty fast due to the nice downhill grade.
