3:55 finish. 17/121 place overall, 3/8 age group place. Small scenic race in southeastern Idaho, starting in the Targhee National Forest, running through mostly wooded areas along a river and then a final seven mile stretch through potato farm country. It’s high altitude, as is most of the state, but the mostly downhill course makes up for it and allows for faster finish times. I just missed four hours the first time I did this race in 2013, but this time with cooler weather and better training I was able to just barely get it done.
Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.

Marathon #122 (country #19): Olands Marathon, Hogby, Sweden
3:47 finish, 18/50 place overall. Small rural marathon on Oland Island, located in the Baltic Sea off the east coast of Sweden about five hours south of Stockholm. Fairly scenic and flat course with friendly support from locals. First international race in almost two years and fastest finish time since last fall.
