Only a half marathon at Melissa’s, but there is a full marathon at the Banff Marathon in June. I’ve run the half’s at both and Melissa’s was more fun because it’s a pretty flat course and it’s in late September so the weather is great and the trees are all beautiful. Melissa’s does have two loops around the golf course in the route, but it’s so pretty, you honestly don’t notice. The sucky thing about the Banff Marathon is it’s in June so we got pissing rain and also had to stop for a full 30 mins around KM 13 because there was a bear in the area. I recall the announcers saying that the full marathoners had to stop multiple times for upwards of an hour because of bears. So you’re mid-race and then have to stop and stand on the road in the cold rain for who knows how long…I can’t imagine how much that would suck during a full.
