The Mesa Falls marathon will begin this Saturday first thing in the morning, and if you want to participate, you need to register by Thursday. You can do the marathon (which is from Mesa Falls to Ashton,) a half marathon, a 5k, or a one mile family run. Or, if you’re like me, you can run ahead, snap a few photos and run back to the car.
There will be a big feed and an awards ceremony in the Ashton city park after the race. (NOTE: I’ve often wondered what type of award it would take for me to punish my body for 26 miles?)
If you’re a runner, you don’t want to miss this one. The Mesa Falls marathon is one of the “50 great marathons” here in these United States. Clean air, clean water and good clean fun — that’s what you’ll get this Saturday. Better get registered.
Seeing country like this, inspires both the runner, and spectator…a must for this time of year.
