This course was really difficult as it is pretty much all sand in the dark where dust is flying everywhere. It felt like a sandy beach run in the park rather than dirt trails. I’m glad I wore my trail shoes for this course as I was not ready for the soft sand! It was definitely hard on my ankles. I highly recommend a face mask or bandana as dust were flying everywhere throughout the entire course! (Maybe VR can provide a bandana as part of a race swag in the future!!) Headlamps were required, so with every runner wearing one, the course was pretty well lit for me. I tried to look up and enjoy the night sky and stars but instead, I just can’t help but stare at the sand finding the flattest and most trampled on section to run on. I did truly enjoy the sunset prior to the start as it was gorgeous! Weather was nice but it dropped tremendously by the end of the race so I recommend layering up! Overall, this was a good experience and I did better than expected given the difficulty of this course.
