Trail Marathon National Championship! Stacked field of elites. Strong tailwinds the whole way. Crunchy quesadillas at the finish!

Course Description:

Marathon: Starting at the Pritchett Canyon entrance, proceed up Pritchett Canyon Trail (5.7 miles of rugged jeep track) connecting to Hunter Canyon Rim Trail (1.8 miles), proceeding along the Hunter Canyon Rim single-track trail and down to Kane Creek Road (2.2 miles). Turn left and head south on Kane Creek Dirt Road to the Hunter Canyon singletrack trail (1.3 miles). Continue 1 mile up the canyon and turn around and come back out. Then continue south on Kane Creek Road (1 mile). Turn right and head up the “Scorched Earth Wall”.

Once atop the rim, continue generally north on the faint jeep trail, which turns to singletrack, then slickrock, then off-track canyon bottom. Then you’ll turn left on the ‘Captain Ahab’ singletrack for 2.3 miles to Amasa Back jeep trail, continuing for about 3/4 mile. Then turn right onto the Jackson Trail singletrack, down to the Kane Creek drainage (1.8 miles). Continue to the aid station just after crossing Kane Creek and head through the tunnel, through the cave, through the arch, up the ladder and traverse the rope (.4 mile) then follow the technical shelf trail that parallels ‘Behind the Rocks Wilderness area’ (1.3 miles). Cross Kane Road under the culvert and continue along the flats through Kane Creek Campground (West) returning the final mile to the Kane Creek Parking lot finish area.

½ Marathon: Start at the Pritchett Canyon entrance, proceed up Pritchett Canyon trail (5.7 miles) connecting to Hunter Canyon Rim trail (1.8 miles), proceeding along the Hunter Canyon Rim single-track and down to Kane Creek Road (2.2 miles). Turn right and continue up the infamous Kane Road switchbacks for about a mile, then back down to the Hymasa singletrack into the depths of Kane Creek drainage. Continue for 1 mile in the drainage, exiting at the Amasa Back parking lot for another ½ mile dirt road before the final ½ mile of singletrack with two crossings of Kane Creek before the finish.

The Boston River Run 5K is a spirited, patriotic run that takes place Veterans Day weekend. The run offers a family-friendly course that welcomes runners and walkers of all ability levels.

Though only in its second edition, the Radisson Blu Larnaka International Marathon claims its rightful place amongst the world’s top marathon races.

Already certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races, AIMS, the event features plenty of distance options for all ages and abilities from which to choose ranging from the breathtaking 42.195 km Marathon and the 21.095 km Half-Marathon to the 10 and 5 km and the 1 km Family Race.

Gaining in popularity as a race destination, the Radisson Blu Larnaka International Marathon successfully combines a Mediterranean getaway with rising competition, aided by the flat for the most part course allowing for fast running times.

Starting in front of the Larnaka City Hall the course takes runners along the scenic coastal road of Phinikoudes all the way to the surrounding picturesque McKenzy area offering stunning sea views en route. The scenery then changes as the athletes are guided towards Larnaca International Airport through beautiful landscapes that will definitely help alleviate any pain they may be experiencing from the vigorous race and keep them going. After crossing over the Larnaka Salt Lake runners are greeted by the Mosque of Umm Haram at the west bank of the lake and, surrounded by palm trees as they pass through Tekke Park they are visually compensated for all their effort so far returning to the same spot twice.

The first run in 2017 attracted more than 3.000 entrants of all ages from 25 different countries; the next encounter will be on November, 18, 2018 with registrations already open. 42,195 meters that will provide intense moments of emotion to the courageous runners who will run it. A path that in addition to the beautiful nature that characterizes it, is an ideal match for breaking records and outstanding performances.
