Salmon Marathon

Salmon Marathon, held in Salmon, Idaho, offers two race options: a full marathon (26.2 miles) and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The course blends roughly 21 miles of dirt or gravel with the final five miles on pavement, including three short paved stretches along a dirt road. Two short hills appear—after mile 7 and after the half-marathon point—while the remainder is gently rolling and generally downhill, set against breathtaking mountain scenery.

The event, a Boston Qualifier, is supported by local volunteers and multiple sponsors, delivering crisp mountain air, small-town hospitality, and a family-like, community-focused race atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
