Pocatello Marathon
Pocatello runs point-to-point through the hills above the Snake River Plain, losing over a thousand feet from start to finish. It is a small, no-fuss race built for runners who want a genuine shot at a fast time.
Race Overview
The Course
Race-Day Weather
September in Pocatello means a cold start and a warm finish. You'll want throwaway layers at the gun, a low-40s morning up at the start is not unusual. By the time you're in the later miles the temperature can climb into the upper 70s, so plan for a warm second half. It's generally dry, which helps, but that swing from cold to warm means you're racing the conditions a bit. Dress for the start, hydrate through the middle miles, and don't be surprised if it feels harder than your pace suggests once the sun is up.
