In all the race loses 1800ft and gains just 250 for a net loss of 1550ft. The first three miles are on packed dirt road(the surface is a little loose and gravelly but it should not slow runners down very much and all the downhill will more than make up the difference) and the remainder is on asphalt and the entire route even when approaching town has very little vehicle traffic. The first 18 miles are in the national forest, the next seven are on rural county roads and the final mile makes it way to downtown on town streets. The Course will be USATF certified 26.2 miles and can be used as a "Boston Qualifier". MAPS ELEVATION PROFILE All miles will be marked and the half will be marked too.

Welcome!

The first annual Winthrop Marathon will be held September 26 2010.

The USATF certified, "net downhill" course is located on the sunny side of the North Cascades so there's a good chance the weather will be perfect for running, enjoying the views and hanging out with friends and family at the finishline. And yes it's a "Boston Qualifier"!!!
