June 3rd, 2007 2007 The Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon and Half marathon. "26.2 Miles of Black Hills Beauty!" The marathon is a point to point course, beginning in the hamlet of Rochford, the first 1.5 miles are on the road. At this point, the course becomes the Mickelson Trail. The next 12 miles are a mixture of gentle uphill and flat terrain. From there to mile 19 is downhill, From 19.6 to about 20, there is a serious downhill... it's runable, but you have to be careful not to become a "runaway." From this point to the end, the course is either downhill or flat and finishes at the historic Engine House at end of the line……. the Deadwood Trailhead.
       The Half Marathon is also a point to point course, starting at the 13.1 mile mark of the full marathon, and follows the marathon course described above, also finishing at the historic Engine House of the Deadwood Trailhead. The Mickelson Fast 5K and Kid's Wonderful 1K will be Saturday, June 2nd.
       Note from BR: This is a race that I did a couple of years ago. It was one of the best race experience that I ever had and one that I think few people really know about. Since doing the event, I have suggested it to quite a few Pacers. Please prominently post the link on our website. You have my permission to state that I give it rave reviews and am willing to discuss it with anyone who might be interested. I'm considering doing the Half again this year.
