D. G. from The Woodlands, TX (9/14/2015) "Well worth the journey!" (about: 2015) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Rocky Mountain High-est Leadville Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Marathon Maniacs - This is a must do race for 10,000 ft elevation bragging rights! Very well organized, great volunteers, beautiful course/weather and plenty of up/down.
James Snell from Dallas, Texas (9/9/2014) "Challenging, beautiful, well organized event!" (about: 2014) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Rocky Mountain High-est Leadville Marathon COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Running at 10,000 feet is definitely a challenge for those of us who live closer to sea level. But, my problems were my own, and not caused by the event! The course was great. The support was great. This is the smallest event I've run in, so I was really amazed at the support and the fact that there were people waiting at the finish of my very slow marathon. The scenery in Leadville makes it all worth while. God did intervene and bring us a short thunderstorm and about 45 minutes of 35 mph headwinds. But, other than that, the weather was absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. I hope they hold the event again. I would come back.
J. B. from Coppell (Dallas) Texas (9/8/2014) "Wonderful race" (about: 2014) 50+ previous marathons COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 2014 was first year for this race but these folks have a ton of experience putting on events. Great, safe course. Lots of hills, but what do you expect from Leadville? Organization, aid stations and volunteers were outstanding. If you aren't scared off by the altitude put this one on your calendar. Don't expect spectators lining the course but I can't say enough good things about the people who ran and provided support.
