Description

The mostly flat Pacific Crest Marathon loop course consists of paved bike paths that traverse through and around Sunriver Resort.

Marathon (26.2-miles) & Half-Marathon (13.1-miles) start in Sunriver Village adjacent to the PPU/Registration tent. These runs circle Sunriver Resort on wide, paved, very scenic bike paths. The paths are approximately 6 ft wide, perfectly paved and wind through the forest. Each course has only two small hills, with a minimal elevation gain to navigate and a fast downhill to flat finish. Marathoners will receive their Half-Marathon split when traveling through the Athlete Village before heading out on the second loop of this beautiful scenic course that will take you through meadows and forests, past rivers, and beautifully landscaped golf greens and summer homes. The Marathon and Half-Marathon events start and finish in the Athletes Village to the cheers of the enthusiastic crowd.

JB's review of 2013 Pacific Crest Marathon.

3 / 5 Stars

Review
In late June Sunriver can be extremely hot. Last year I ran about 20 seconds slower per mile on this course, largely due to the heat. Although, I am sure that the altitude didn't help either. The course is beautiful, but the outside portion of the loop (which you do twice) is really exposed to the sunshine. The aid stations are plentiful, and the swag is ok, but there is a lot going on and some of the marathons thunder is stolen by the multitude of other events.

Race Tips
If you are a sub 3:30 try to get near the front of the pack. The start funnels quickly and you can easily get jammed up for the first 1/2 mile or more if you are not careful.
