Scenic, Well Organized, Warm This Year

The race organizers did everything so well, I wish they could have controlled the weather :) As a former marathon director, I look for excellence in organization, as this is the make or break characteristic of a race for me. My legs were not trashed from the gradual downhill in the first half (although I wasn't allowing myself to get carried away). However, it was VERY warm (upper 70s when I finished), sunny, and there's no shade. Scenery was magnificent as were volunteers. If you need spectators en masse, this is not the race for you. Got bus to start from hotel, good finish area by the zoo. Glad I chose this for my Idaho race!!! The southern Idaho area (including WY & UT) are well worth spending some time in.

Defending champion Kori Wheatley ran most of the Pocatello Marathon course each week for the seven weeks leading up to the race and the familiarity added to his advantage in the 2008 race. Wheatley set a new course record while beating the 2006 champion, Chuck Engle.
