This race is really cool. You run through the desert. How cool is that?! There are some uphill climbs, but the road terrain is easy. The coned sides to run on gets confusing with random switches. Adequate hydration stations, just make sure you dont lose your reusable cups or you’re screwed and end up using your hands which is subpar at best, lol. The trail portion is so cool and could be so much fun except it only has space for single file running for the most part which can really stink when there are slower runners or random walkers. No disrespect to them, I stand in solidarity with anyone who’s moving, but if you cant pass, it provides for a frustrating experience and a result in a subpar time, and that’s disappointing. The course was longer at over 13.5 but they are working that out as well as parking kinks. The race otherwise is extremely well organized; everyone is very informative and helpful and I’ll definitely be racing with VR again, and overall recommended the race at Saguaro, but know unless you’re competing for overall prizes you’re going to get stuck or slowed on the trail portion unless something with if changes.
