Get your running shoes ready! Salmon Idaho is once again hosting a September Marathon. The 2009 Salmon Marathon will be September 12th. The race this year is being sponsored by the Salmon Valley Chamber of Commerce with the help of the City of Salmon, the community and local non-profit groups. Shu’s Idaho Running Company is our official shoe and apparel sponsor. The race is a fast, scenic, point-to-point course that starts in Tendoy, Idaho. Tendoy, for you history buffs, is the birthplace of Sacajawea, the Agaidika Shoshone woman, who with her infant child accompanied Lewis and Clark on their historic journey to the Pacific and back. The course follows the Old Lemhi Road as it winds along the Lemhi River west onto Main Street and into Salmon. After crossing the Salmon River at the end of Main Street, runners will turn left into Island Park and the finish line. The timing has been changed from gun timing to chip timing to record times more accurately and post them in a very timely fashion and qualifying times are reported to the Boston Marathon. Hammer Nutrition and Shu’s Idaho Running Company are proud to sponsor this event. This year registration will be through Blue Circle Sports, which you can link to from the marathon’s website at www.salmonmarathon.com.

I had a great time at the Salmon marathon 2008. It was inexpensive too. I stayed at a campground but this year I’m going to stay at the hostel. Salmon really turned out for all the runners. The support stations and marathon workers could not have been nicer. The moose at mile 3 was a bonus and the horseclub that stationed the way made this a marathon of distintion.
