Mesa Falls Marathon

Ashton, United States of America · Sunday 18 July 2027

RoadFull Marathon

Running the Mesa Falls Marathon in July means dealing with heat at altitude, so arrive early to acclimatize to the 1600-1900m elevation range. The course is moderately hilly with enough climbing to demand respect, particularly if you're training at sea level, so build your hill work into your preparation. Ashton's location in the intermountain region means the weather can shift quickly, so pack layers and plan your fueling carefully since aid stations may be spaced further apart than you're used to. This isn't a fast course and it's not meant to be, so set realistic expectations for your pace and focus instead on the satisfaction of moving through a high-altitude landscape.
