I am considering running the Mt Rushmore marathon which goes from Mt Rushmore to Crazy Horse in SD this October. The marathon apparently has dual starts so contestants have the option of starting at Mt Rushmore and finishing at Crazy Horse or starting at Crazy Horse and finishing at Mt Rushmore. I am interested to know which direction would be the most challenging and how challenging the course is overall for those who have run this marathon in the past. This will be my 4 th marathon. I have run Boulder Marathon in Sep of 08, Estes Park Marathon in June of 09, plan to run Boulder marathon again in Sep of 09 and then Mt Rushmore. Should be a good time. Hopefully after the Mt Rushmore run, it will not be much longer before there is enough snow to ski on again. Any information and/ or pointers are welcome.
