Itinerary description
This is a beautiful yet challenging hike to the top of the Race Point of Mt. Marathon. This trail Follows the jeep trail on the way up, then the hiking trail and comes back down from the race trail. The use of gaiters on the way down is very recommended. Not advisable for people with bad knees.
I have another trail uploaded for this hike, that takes a steeper but shorter way up, this is somewhat easier.
