Google picture of Mt. Lemmon
I took one look at the pictures of the inaugural Mount Lemmon Marathon and Half-Marathon, Tucson, Ariz., and instantly agreed – it definitely looks like it will be the “world’s toughest road race.”
The ascent, for the marathon, begins at 3,100 feet and climbs 6,047 feet to the top of the mountain at 9,147 feet. Wicked!
The scenic view is beautiful. Click on the link above to see more pictures and learn more about the Oct 17 event.
Are you daring enough to give this hilly course a try?
