Salmon Marathon

The Salmon Marathon, held in Salmon, Idaho, is a Boston Qualifier race featuring both a full marathon (26.2 miles) and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The course offers a unique mix of terrain, including dirt, gravel, and pavement, with about 21 miles on dirt or gravel roads and the final five miles on pavement. Runners encounter two short hills—one after mile 7 and another just past the half marathon mark—while the rest of the course is gently rolling and generally downhill.

Set against stunning mountain scenery, the event is known for its crisp air, small-town hospitality, and a close-knit community atmosphere, making it a memorable race experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
