Race Description

The course starts near Page Park in Page Arizona. The first three miles are largely in residential with a few fantastic views near the small airport. This is when things get awesome. The course turns into a single track trail for a mile and a half providing runners incredible views of the lake and surrounding areas. The course then drops down to the ighway where you run accross the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge that runs 800 feet above the Colorado River on the canyon floor. After a slight incline runners turn down Lake Shore drive which allows full panoramic views of the lake and Wahweap marina. A short turn towards the Lake Powell resort hotel and runners get onto a running path that runs along the lake and finishes at State Line marina. After your run, you can take a short walk down the boat and a swim in the surprisingly warm lake. This is a fast course that loses 600 feet from start to finish with only a 150 foot gain along the course. The Inaugural Lake Powell Half Marathon is scheduled for October 19, 2013.
