Sorry to hear you didn't make lottery. Aaron Metler is the guy I deal with the most regarding city races. Steve Hooper might have some contacts. Have you ever run Top of Utah? I know Logan is kind of out of the way, but I've heard they put on a pretty good fall marathon.

6 times?! Sheesh lol . Give us noobies a shot! Run Top of Utah Marathon. Stop running SGM . It's a sissy course anyways. All downhill. Real commandos would run it backwards and go net UPHILL! Rock on 12 mile champ

Sorry Cheston. I would run TOU though instead, but I live in Logan...

Naw Lol, throw me a bone dog. I've ran many tough ones, Boston, Valley of Fire. Now that's a hard one, its rated one of the toughest marathons in the nation and I placed 2nd overall. I've ran the tough ones dog and I'd rock your commando backwards or forwards on any course.

I love St. George. I have a sick need to run it every year.

Commando,

I hope you understand everything I said was out of love and respect.

I'm sure you'd kick my trail.
