This trail marathon and half marathon starts and finishes at the
Medford City Park in downtown Medford, with most of the race taking
place on the nearby Pine Line Trail. The race begins early -- 8:00 a.m.
sharp, say race organizers -- and day-of-race registration is
permitted. The half marathon takes runners out to a half-way point on
the trail, after which they return back to the finish line along the
same portion of the trail.
