I feel like #13 could be something around Orodruin, with the 'marathon... up here... the final one' referencing Sam's repeated references to it as 'the last gasp'.

But... I can find 'run' [marathon] in multiple possible answers (Orodruin, Sammath Naur, and Sauron's Road, which would actually be my preferred answer), but can't make anything useful from the 'morning' part of the clue. 'Dawn' would be nice... but there's no W in any of my options.

Still, maybe I'm just blind, so... SAURON'S ROAD?

EDIT: Is #15 just ROCK[S]? Bilbo thinks of feather-beds while sleeping in the Eyrie, and the text just gives 'the hard rock' as a description for what he's sleeping on instead. ~hS
