"Most Scenic Marathon in Nebraska!" (about: 2012)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Monument Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Okay, to be honest, I haven't run the other Nebraska marathons. But they are all in the east part of the state which is primary flat and boring. This one in Scottsbluff takes you around Scottsbluff National Monument and through something I heard the locals call 'The Badlands'. If you have never been to Badlands National Park this is exactly how it looks, but on a much smaller scale. There is about a 5-6 mile stretch which is unpaved. This year it rained during the race and the dirt roads became very muddy - so beware! Other than that I can say that this was a fantastic small race which both the race organization and the community pulled out all the stops to make this great race. |
