St. George Marathon: A Boston Marathon Qualifier!
We are looking forward to watching the St. George Marathon on Highway 18 at 500 North in Veyo before the break of day tomorrow! We will be holding up signs and cheering for each and every athlete that passes through.
In 1977, 42 athletes were at the starting line in the inaugural St. George Marathon, 38 runners finished. Who knew it would go on to be a Boston Marathon qualifier? What an amazing way to experience southern Utah!

I love to see all the colorful hand-made signs and posters, made by friends and family members, wishing for the best, cheering the runners on as they make their way down Hiway 18. See you all at the Finish Line!
