In 1992, the Verde Mingus Blowout was created as a way for Cottonwood to engage its citizens in a fun and healthy activity while highlighting the natural beauty of our local area. For many years, this race was successful as a 10K, however in 2007, after the unexpected passing of … MORE

    I drove 100 miles there and back just to make it to this event! This was my very first 1/2 marathon and it was beautiful. Loved the course, wanted to go back and do it again but it was conflicting with other races I was already signed up for, so maybe in 2024. The only disappointment was the race T-shirt (big bulky cotton shirt with a huge print that just made it uncomfortable to even sleep in) and I didn’t care too much for the medal but it was OK (cork screw type). But everything else was great and I was excited to find a 1/2 marathon last minute within somewhat of a normal distance here in AZ in June, without having to do it at night.

    The town of Cottonwood, AZ was a great little town. Nice downtown area. The race producers put on a good event, I enjoyed it. Now… it is HOT in Arizona in June. Do not kid yourself and take hydration with you. I hate carrying things in my hands when I run, but I took a bottle of water and drained it before the race was over. The race is also a partial road course and a partial trail run up a dry creek bed. So be prepared for both in 110 degree heat!
