Bryce Canyon Half

Just a reminder about the upcoming Bryce Canyon Half-Marathon and 5K on Saturday July 19. It is a very fun and fast course. And cheap, only 25 bucks. Click here for more info or to register.

The 1/2 Marathon starts at Ruby's Inn on Hwy 63, Bryce (elev. 7,652 ft.). The course heads north, then turns east onto National Scenic Byway 12. The route descends through Bryce Canyon National Park, through the town of Tropic, and ends in Cannonville(elev. 5,800ft.). Runners must finish the 1/2 Marathon by 9:00AM. $3,000 cash prize will be divided between the top 5 overall male and female 1/2 Marathon runners. Shuttles will be available. The 5k Run/Walk starts at 6:30AM. in Cannonville.

It is a great way to escape the oppressive heat in Hurricane. Hope to see some of you there.
