Race Photos are now posted!!!
Registration is open now for 2009
2008 race photos are being uploaded now and should be online in the next day or so.
Thank you to the volunteers and sponsors who made this possible:
Trappers Council at Camp Hunt: we couldn't have done it without the many volunteers from Camp Hunt. For first time marathon volunteers they did GREAT! We look forward to doing it again next year. Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce for providing 2 volunteers (you know who you are!)
Coca Cola in Logan, Veta Life - Loved the bars!
Thanks!
Results are posted!
We double and triple checked the results to ensure that they are as accurate as possible. Because some runners did not immediately drop off the timing chip to stop their time, we had to use the manual (back up) timing system to track what order the runners came in and give those with inaccurate chip times the correct time. We triple checked this with the finish photos to ensure complete accuracy. We still have a few runners who we can not verify (can't see a bib - no chip time).
If we are missing you, please let us know.

It's going to take a week or two to categorize all the photos and get them online. They will be available for printing or downloading.
Changes
Overall it was a big success. We've received a lot of compliments from runners who had a great time. We've also received some very good feedback on how to make it even better for next year. As this was the first Bear Lake Marathon and Mammoth Marathon's first ever marathon, we knew there were going to be some glitches. Below is a list of changes that will be made for next year. It's going to be even better!
Portable Toilets: We WILL have toilets at the start of each race and they will in no way resemble a sage brush.
Timing: We've heard a lot of great feedback about the small size of the timing
chips and that they didn't come with a "smelly leg band." In the end though the chips were hard to remove and added unnecessary hassle at the finish line. We're looking at options for next year to eliminate this trouble.
Loop Through Town: We had built the loop through town into the course as a way to include the town and provide more viewing areas for spectators. The resulting confusion to runners was too great. The loop will be eliminated. We'll run straight to the park next year.
Signs: We will have signs up in the roads at various locations alerting drivers that there are runners on the road.
10k distance: This years 10k was long (actually 11.4k). We'll have next years course calibrated and USATF certified just as we did the Marathon and Half Marathon.
If there's any suggestions you have on how we can improve, please let us know. We'd love to hear it. Also keep the positive comments. coming. We love to hear those even more.
