Running towards the hot air balloons was pretty cool. The bright sun didn’t allow us to enjoy them as much. Course was very well marked and hydration was plentiful. At mile 9 through the finish I didn’t see and portable toilets. This was the 1 race I really needed one. Just ran miserably to the finish. Perhaps they were there and I didn’t see them. Not good. Organizers were friendly. Post run breakfast and snacks were great. Not very scenic, but there were some beautiful homes on the route. Almost no spectators. Decent in and out race.

Fun and fast flat course with a mix of mostly trail and some road. Beautiful scenery with hot air balloons lifting off in the morning. Breakfast burritos were great afterwards. MORE
