Med Bow Rail Marathon and Half Marathon

The Med Bow Rail Marathon and Half Marathon, hosted by the Friends of the Medicine Bow Rail Trail, will take place on August 9, 2025. This event features a marathon course that spans the scenic Medicine Bow Rail Trail, with an average elevation of 8,926 feet, and a half-marathon that includes loops around Lake Owen. Both races are designed to promote the use of the trail and support its maintenance. Participants can expect a well-staffed event with aid stations, race souvenirs, and finisher medals. The trail, a 21-mile gravel pathway through the Medicine Bow National Forest, is open year-round for various non-motorized activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
