This one is a must do. I have ran this course or parts of this course 5 times, different distances. The slot canyons are amazing. This year we did not have as many, but that was a land ownership thing. But, no less amazing. This year we looped around the Horseshoe bend, also a must see sight. This year, lots of rain, mud, rocks, wind, cold but still I love it. The rain and mud slowed things down though.

There are some great views in this race, recent storms put lots of water in the creeks, several creek crossing. Nice running area. Good aid stations, mostly OK marked trails but needed more markers out, at one fork in the trail, no markings, that caused a delay. Award pick up is still up in the air, or lacking information. This organization gives out very cheap glasses or wine glasses, so cheap they break easily. If they are going to do that, spend some money and get good ones we can use. I have spoke up on this but no one wants to hear that.

Good course, pavement and trail, rolling hills and flat. Very well organized. Great SWAG, the race ends in ” Old Tucson Studios “, lots of Law Enforcement, lots of EMT’s on stand by. Good People and the runners came in from all over the nation, very cool. The staff was perfect, the weather was great. This is a great company to run with. The photo was sunrise this morning.

Much improved all the way around. Trail markings were perfect, aid stations were all well done and full, and a good selection. Still no National Anthem. That part is sad that a few cry and the rest have to agree??? Swag was good, t-shirts are good, the medal was smaller but very nice. A bunch of us used the GPS on the site, took us to the wrong place, about 20 cars ended up wrong. 2nd Try we went right to the Church address, it was closed and Locked gate. So we ask around, the correct entry was a short distance 1 +- mile away. The actual address of the park or guard shack should be used. Overall, it all turned out well.

Can’t beat this run. The organizer is a Family ran group. Moab UT, they do many races around Colorado an Utah and AZ. ( Mad Moose ) is their name. This race is a hard one, Winter snow, snow melt, mud and about 600 runners this time. Well done race and results were posted is less than 18 hours. Super nice group and runners. You will not be disappointed. I have ran 10 races with this group. 🙂

I have ran this course at night and in the day. It is a good event to run, all paved ( 99%), nice people, good organization. These people do many Las Vegas area runs. Weather is almost always good. This time, early cold start, good temps. all day. Location is great, don’t miss this one. Calico racing. The results were posted in less than 12 hours.

Very well organized race. Our lead person was Hanna with BBSC’s endurance events. She was very sharp and very well organized. Totally focused. First part is slow, some hills, the end is great, went through 4-6 old train tunnels. We run on the old train path. Great views from up there. The town of Boulder city is the cleanest town I have seen in years.

If you are a regular runner, you need to know, this organizer is OK at best. The swag gets worst. They seem to change from medals ( wooden ) to very cheap wine glass type the might have cost them 19 cents. I ask the organizer about this and he told me he did a “survey of his runners “, I never received a survey and I have done several of his runs. Runners are here for fun, the race, the location and the medal. 100 plus dollars, sometimes 200, or more and you can not put out a good swag????? Thats called profiteering. Also this race and two other of his races have issues with trail signage. The photo posted was sun rise on race morning.

There were several races ran on the same day, The web site had corrections so I am sure some folks did not get the change. Ref. time start. Most everything else has improve. However, their award was a very cheap wine glass that every runner I know hates. Totally worthless and breakable. My big issue with this organization is that they do not play the National Anthem. Not 100% sure but I have not heard it at several runs. They also are now running the Tucson Marathon. The National Anthem had better be played. Very sad these folks forget just what country they live in.

I believe this one was a cold one. Start was 16 degrees. Good course, good run, no trail issues, very well organized, good aid stations. Fun people and good support from everyone. This group, ( Mad Moose-Utah ), I have ran many of their runs, Utah, and Colorado. I think they are fantastic. Sometimes cutoffs are hard but most often they are doable.

I have ran this race many times. I first ran this race in 1998 and did very well, over the years I have bettered the times and also ran slower. The trail, the start, the finish, the quality of the staff and their focus is really fantastic. Now that I am a lot older this proves to be an extreme challenge. Every aspect of this race is covered. The other runners come from around the Nation and the world. A challenge for everyone for sure. For sure the runners are really nice to exchange ideas and information.

Starts cool, nice views and will flatten out. You run the highway most of the race. Poorly put together and never has been a well done race. This year 2022 will be interesting. New owner from the Phoenix area, they historically give bad service and don’t return emails or calls. I have ran several of their run in the Phoenix area. They are an average organization. This is their first Tucson Marathon, it will be interesting how it goes. I am still waiting for both a call and an email to be returned from these new folks.

Just loved the race, on the horse shoe race, I would follow the river for 2-3 more miles and then turn to the finish. Loved the scenery, it was great, improve that if you can. Love trail running, so much more fun than street. Just returned from Chicago Marathon. This race beats that one 5 to 1. It was good but not grand. VR’s are just fine. Mostly, good folks. Who ever reads this, this “Trail Fest” is a must do. P.S. the medal is the 2nd best one I have received in 44 years and 150 races. The photo I posted is just the tip of the iceberg. That is Horse shoe bend from the top of the cliff, I diverted off the trail so to get the photo, no worries, your not running the edge. Safe as can be.
