The Scottsdale Airport shuts down so runners can take off on the runway. It’s definitely a one-of-a-kind race. Some planes were left on the ground for participants to explore and take pictures. The course is flat and fast, of course. There’s enough room on the course for runners to space out. It’s scenic because of the breathtaking views of the mountains. This race has become a staple on my running list.
