FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Why Should I Choose the Grizzly Marathon?
Choteau's Grizzly Marathon is pure old-fashioned marathon. 
No hoopla - no bands, no crowds, no fuss. 
It is your chance to test your mettle in a beautiful setting.  Sure there might be gravel and hills but you have trained hard, you're tough!

Method of Course Measurement:
2007 Ford F150 Pickup. 
Got in and drove. 

Chances are your Garmin will not calibrate.

Number of Bands on Route:
0. 

Unless you count Hank's truck radio.

Course Record:
Now that is a tough question! 
This will be the third (?) route since the dawn of Grizzly Marathon times. 
(We are just as happy about the first entrant to cross the finish line as we are the last!)

Spectators:
Do gophers count?

Can We Drive Out to Watch Our Friend?
Only if you don't like them.
Unfortunately, our roads are not closed to through traffic, which is the reason for the pilot cars.  Each additional car raises the risk of an accident not to mention the increased dust and exhaust, which as you know is troublesome enough for the athletes.  So, please plan to watch your friend/family member in town.

Average temperature on race day:
Chilly to downright toasty.  That about covers it. 

Dress like an onion and be prepared to peel! 

**Keep in mind, when it comes to clothing left on the course, what gets left in on the course goes to charity!  Please don't expect to see it again!***

Character of the Course:
This is a mirror image of the people and
countryside of Choteau:

tough and no-nonsense but a beautiful soul. 
If you are afraid you will break a fingernail, this course may not be for you. 

The course is mostly gravel, which can vary in kindness depending upon the weather and travel. 

There are hills. 

Marathoners, be prepared to ROCK & ROLL
(gravel and hills, get it?)

In short:  Out & back, hills and gravel.

What are the age group awards?
Pride.  That is all our budget will allow for.

Are there ANY awards?
Yes, the overall female and male winners of each race will get an award (guaranteed to be unique and special) and we will place cash prizes randomly in the race packets so that everyone has a chance to win.  Our theory is that you are all winners so how can we possibly afford to give you all something?  This way there is no waiting around for an awards ceremony and any person who participates can win!
