Because I'm kind of sick and wanted to learn more about the Marathon and the 17 mile "fun run" that happens on the trail we hiked last week, I went back and looked a bit closer at the website for the run. This is what I found about the climbs of late day 1 and all of day 2 of our trip.
8 Ridge Passes:
Missouri
Hurrican Knob
Brier Creek
Leader
Brushheap
Brushy
Big Tom
Max elev. 2028 ft Min elev. 1023 ft Climbing Gain 4600 ft
Climbing distance 7.10 mi Avg Grade 12%
Nice. So the marathon involves all these climbs- twice? It's an out and back. My original assumption that these people are crazy still holds.
