From the Salida peeps:
Course conditions. The half marathon course is 90% dry as of today 3/1 a.m. There are a couple snowpacked sections of road starting at mile 4 that we expect to melt out and just be wet (if that) by race day for the half.
Marathoners will very likely encounter sections of mud and snow and perhaps ice between miles 8-24. Miles 0-17 have been plowed, but there are sections of hardpack snow on these that will not disappear before race day. Marathoners can likely expect to probably encounter significant sections of mud and deeper snow between miles 17-24. As of March 1, some of this snow is 10” deep and likely not to disappear completely before race day.

Plays right into my hands. Postholing through 10" snow is my specialty. 26 minutes Brownie - you're gonna have to go sub 3:35.
Oddly enough I am looking forward to the course this weekend. It's gonna be way different than last year. Oh well, just 1/2 of a 50 mile weekend for me. Have a great run!
