Wicked Fast Marathon Montana
The Wicked Fast event in Livingston, Montana is a USATF-sanctioned, Boston qualifying road race held in Paradise Valley and Yellowstone Country. The event offers both marathon and half marathon distances and includes a strict 5.5 hour time limit.
Distances:
- 26.2 Miles Marathon
- 13.1 Miles Half Marathon
The marathon course has a total net elevation drop of about 1,200 feet. Runners begin at roughly 5,800 feet above sea level and descend to about 4,600 feet, so the route includes an altitude change that affects overall pacing. The course surface is a mix of pavement and gravel, with approximately 40 percent gravel and several gentle rollers rather than a continuous downhill.
Logistics noted by the organizer include bib pick up at Pine Creek Lodge. The course passes through mountain scenery, ranch country, and wide open valley landscapes typical of Paradise Valley. The event is presented as part of the Wicked Fast series and is described by the organizer as providing a downhill advantage in Montana conditions.
