I just wanted to let you all know what an enjoyable 1st marathon experience last weekend was for me. Although the downhill hindered my time I had a great time. I wanted to thank the city of Ashton and all the volunteers everyone was so happy and eager to help. I really felt the small town friendliness that we all love. The race seemed very organized and the route was unbelievably beautiful. I've already recommended the race to family. Thanks for a great first time marathon experience!! S and M, Idaho
