It’s a great backdrop for a race and the 2019 Timberline Marathon and Half Marathon is coming up on the weekend of June 15th. You’ll have two chances to run the half marathon, as there’s one on…

Just over a year ago, I got to experience one of my most memorable events of the year – the Timberline Marathon and Half Marathon.
