Dawn Rohde's Staging Area

We had yellow wildflowers in bloom on one side with the river on the other side.

Race support was amazing!

Definitely a race that I would like to run again.

I’m suprised by the thousands of people who ran this race.

You freeze at the start of the race. It helps that they have space blankets available for use.

They have more than poweraid and water at one of the aid stations.

I like how they have a lot of porra potties. You don’t even have to wait in line if you are one of the first bus.

There is a lot of race support.
There is a person that rides around on a motorized scooter that checks in on everyone.

The volunteers are super helpful. I liked how they picked up the trash to keep the canyon clean.

I’m just sad that we have to block off busy roads. It’s hard for the drivers.

The race is in the beginning of fall, so you have the privilege of seeing some of the fall colors.

Revel checks in and knows how many races you have completed over the years. They go above and beyond to tell you how your performance is improving.

It is a beautiful race. You get to start at the reservoir. Before the race, they sing the national anthem. They have a moment of silence to honor those who are affected by cancer.
