2nd annual Madison Marathon, Ennis, MT. Marathon on Top of Montana. DO YOU HAVE THE STONES?
Gravelly Mountains, A Runner’s High at 9,000 feet, Full Marathon, Half
Marathon, and Team Marathon Races. Just like last year, the race will be run
along the Gravelly Range Road at an elevation of well over 9,000 feet. From
what our research can uncover, this makes The Madison Marathon the very
highest road marathon in the United States. There are some trail runs along
ridge tops that are over 10,000 feet, but we cannot find a true road marathon
as high as The Madison. We are the highest and, a bit of bias here, the most
beautiful marathon course in America. We will have on-line sign up on active.com starting in a few months. The race will
be limited to the first 200 runners. You will all be notified when we’re
ready to sign runners up with a financial incentive to sign up early. In the
interim, feel free to give me a call at anytime 406-682-5923 www.madcoedc.org 8/8, 31st annual First
