This was my 4th time participating in Capital Pursuit. I’ve done the 10 mile twice and now the 5k twice. There is always good competition and also seemingly always hot weather!

I have done the Capital Pursuit 10 mile race twice. Both times I ran a new PR on this course! Any race that goes down Kingman is going to have great scenery and lots of people out spectating. The after party is great – you get a free beer and they have a raffle with great prizes! They do finisher medals for the 10 mile and age group awards were gift certificates to a local running shop. I will most definitely continue to do this race!
