We are dedicated to bringing you a top quality and enjoyable event and we are sure you will enjoy your stay in Cache Valley. Cache Valley is surrounded by the Wasatch mountains and is very scenic. On the west side of the Valley lie the Wellsville mountains. The Wellsvilles are the steepest mountains in the world from base to base. On the east side lie the Wasatch mountains comprising Logan Peak, Mount Naomi, and miles of wilderness area. Fourteen miles of the marathon are located in these mountains and the running is all downhill. Cache Valley is made up of small cities which include Logan (home of Utah State University), Smithfield, Hyrum, Wellsville, Avon, Providence, Nibley, Millville, Paradise, Mendon, Petersboro, Benson, Richmond, Newton, Clarkston, Trenton, Cornish, Lewiston, River Heights, Amalga, North Logan, Hyde Park, and Cove. For NordicTrack Top of Utah Marathon, we picked a fast course that is mostly downhill or flat and a time of year that has perfect temperatures for running. The course starts at an elevation of about 5700 feet and gradually works its way down to 4600 feet." |
