St. George Marathon
St. George Marathon is a hilly marathon in St. George, USA, held each October. Point-to-point from the Pine Valley Mountains near Central down through Snow Canyon to St. George, net downhill with the Veyo climb around miles 7-9. Cold desert starts before dawn, warming quickly — often 5-25C across the morning. St. George's hills change the plan itself: expect hill repetitions and long runs that rehearse the course's shape.
