Across The Years Marathon

Across The Years Marathon is a marathon held in Peoria, United States, in December. It is one of many fixed-distance and fixed-time events in a multi-day ultrarunning festival at the Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona, a baseball spring training facility.

Runners complete a looped circuit of about 1.42 miles (2.27 kilometres) inside the complex. The loop winds past practice fields, around the main stadium and beside car parks, and mixes dirt with asphalt and concrete. Each lap climbs roughly 23 feet, and the highest point sits at 1,204 feet above sea level. Gaiters are suggested for keeping debris out of shoes on the unpaved stretches.

The marathon is one option among many on the programme, which also includes 100 kilometre, 100 mile and 200 mile distances, plus timed races ranging from six hours up to six days.
