Temps got into the 90’s, 57 to start. More sand than I want to see for a long time. 150 runners, 27 did not finish. If your young, God bless you, us old guys really get nailed. Great attitudes, love the people that run this. Good food, tough climb at the turn around.

First off the Navajo nation was fantastic. Over all a good race, very beautiful for sure. Cliffs, Rocks, Trees and ……sand. 150 runners only, drawing only. They do a fine job for sure.

You will not regret doing this

This race was amazing! The culture, the history, the scenery, and the wonderful race director all made this a race I could see doing many times. The course isn’t difficult compared to many ultras but the 3 miles of sand at the beginning and the end are challenging, as is the distance itself. I honestly can’t think of a negative thing to say about this event.
