Equinox Marathon

Most of the Equinox Marathon's course is on traits that climb up and over Ester Dome, making this running event a fun challenge. The marathon has a ten-hour cutoff, so those who choose to walk instead of run can complete the course as long as they maintain a steady pace. In addition, there's a marathon relay, allowing participants to run just one-third of the course.
