Description
2015 Big Sky Marathon & Half Marathon:
• The Big Sky Marathon is the result of our success with the Madison Marathon. We had marathoners from around the world screaming for a double. To non-marathoners, this is completely counter-intuitive. After all, why would you host a second marathon immediately after one of the most difficult marathons in America?
• To the likes of Marathon Maniacs though, it makes perfect sense. Why run just one marathon over a weekend when you can run two? Why not earn Four Stars as a Marathon Maniac over the course of 48 hours vs. possibly earning one star if all your other stars line up? So, we offered a new marathon (the Inaugural Big Sky Marathon starting in 2015) and it’s a doozy.
• It starts at around 8,500 feet above sea level on the route of the Madison Marathon, and it goes, down, down, down to the town of Ennis on the banks of the Madison River.
