Med Bow Rail Marathon and Half Marathon

The Friends of the Medicine Bow Rail Trail host the Med Bow Rail Marathon & Half Marathon. These races showcase the beautiful Medicine Bow Rail Trail, offering a unique high-elevation racing experience. The marathon course covers the Rail Trail from end-to-end at an average elevation of 8,926 feet. The trail is a gently graded, wide, gravel path that takes participants through two states, finishing at a serene mountain lake. The half-marathon course mirrors much of the northern portion of the marathon course and includes loops around Lake Owen. All race proceeds fund trail upkeep and improvement, promoting the use of this stunning trail. The event welcomes all participants, providing a fun and safe way to experience the trail competitively or non-competitively. The races include timed sections and 5 aid stations along the route, with a start/finish area near Albany, WY. Participants receive a race t-shirt, and more details can be found on the event website.
