The Marathon in Ashton, Idaho
By Jonathan Weber , 8-21-08
Marathons these days are mostly a big city affair, but not exclusively so: this weekend the town of Ashton, Idaho (pop: about 1100) will host the highly regarded Mesa Falls Marathon. (Ashton is north of Idaho Falls and south of West Yellowstone, a remote but gorgeous area that's well worth a visit if you ever have the chance.) Our friend and New West investor Brad Feld, who is on a quest to complete marathons in all 50 states, will be taking part, and he's raising money for the Accelerated Cure Project. Together with our partners at SunValleyOnline, we're pleased to make a small contribution of $200 towards Brad's goal of $2,000 for this race. Go Brad, and we wish everyone in Ashton a delightful time.
