Safety tours led by veteran Mount Marathon runners

The tour will focus on helping participants travel safely up and down the bottom third of Mount Marathon. The cliff and roots routes, along with the creek (also known as The Gut) and a portion of scree running will be covered. Participants will be divided into small groups.
NOTE: this tour does NOT fulfill the first-timer requirement of completing the entire course before race day.
WHO: Anyone is welcome, but first-timers at the 2022 race or future newcomers would benefit most.
WHERE: Meet at the picnic table near the gate on upper Lowell Canyon Road beginning at 11:30 a.m.
HOW MUCH: Free! No pre-registration required. Participants must sign waiver.
WHAT TO BRING: Suitable trail shoes, water, gloves
