Gotta be in it to win it!

Guess where I am heading in October? St George Utah! A good friend of mine is running his first marathon (with his brother) and has decided to try for the St George Marathon in Utah, and I’ll be pacing him.

The marathon is super popular as it has a net elevation loss of 2500’ and is used a Boston Qualifier, neither of us are looking to run it that fast, for me it's three weeks after AC100, but we are looking for a solid finish and running through all that red rock scenery needs to be done at a relaxing pace to enjoy the scenery, right!

There’s a lottery entry required but we can enter as a group so like the three musketeers all for one and one for all! Fingers crossed!

    Good luck with the marathon lottery. The scenery in your photo looks similar to that of Red Rock Canyon in Nevada. I'd like to do the 50K trail race there some day.

    St. George is a nice race from what I hear..should be fun for your friend..Lottery...I guess you should get used to that you will have your WS qualifier in and another lottery to enter.

    That's nice that at least the lottery has the group option. Most races don't have deals like that, so that's pretty sweet. Good lucK!
