Key Facts

Standouts

---

The 2026 Pocatello Marathon is a net-downhill point-to-point course dropping roughly 1,550 ft from Buckskin Saddle in the hills south of town into Pocatello, Idaho. The first half plunges about 1,400 ft on canyon road, and the second half flattens into the city. It is a USATF-certified Boston and New York qualifier with a 6.5-hour time limit.

Why attend here

September in Pocatello brings crisp, clear mornings, ideal for taking in the dramatic views as you descend from the hills into town. After the race, explore the Museum of Clean, a quirky local landmark, and refuel with a hearty bison burger at a downtown spot. The cooler weather and smaller crowds make this a low-key, rewarding escape.
