Come North of 60 for the Marathon of your life! The scenery is spectacular. Enjoy the views from winding cliffs. Thrill at crossing the Robert E. Lowe suspension footbridge at Miles Canyon, high over the rapids that claimed many a gold rush barge! Don?t try for a personal best! Come just to be part of this celebration of trail running. Some sections of the course are embedded with roots, so use caution as you run. And steep inclines promise you a challenge.
