Start Areas

The half marathon begins near the intersection of Lewis Ridge and Evergreen Parkway in Evergreen. Participants will stage in the Evergreen Dental Group parking lot. The full marathon begins roughly 11 miles up Highway 103 near Echo Mountain. Participants will stage in a pullout area at Echo Mountain.

Porta-potties, water, Nuun, coffee, basic first aid items, and last-minute instructions will be provided at the starting areas. While we will provide gloves and mylar blankets, we highly recommend you come prepared for cold temperatures at the start line by layering and then shedding your layers to put in your drop bag just before the race begins.

Finish Area

The finish line is located in the beautiful town of Morrison. The finisher's area will be packed with food, massages, refreshing beer (beer garden is 21+, you must have a photo ID to enter), vendor booths, and more.

The map below shows the layout of the finish venue and indicates the locations of all the areas listed above as well as the designated areas for bag pickup, results, porta-potties, team tent space, and so forth.

From approximately 6:00 AM to 12:30 PM there will be a continuous shuttle between downtown Morrison and Bandimere Speedway, where spectators can take the bus to the finish line. This will also be the same shuttle finishers and spectators can take back to their vehicles.

Time Limits

Because the roads used for the race must be re-opened for normal traffic patterns, we are required to set course time limits that must be strictly adhered to. The course time limit for the full marathon is based on a 13:00 minute per mile pace, which is a light jog. This equates to roughly a 5:40:00 marathon. The time limit for the half marathon is based on a 23:40 minute per mile pace, which is a leisurely walking pace. This equates to roughly a 5:10:00 half marathon.
