Awesome people made 4 an awesome race
Parking was a breeze and it is super close the start/finish line. Plenty of area near the start to leave a drop bag that doesn’t take you far off course. … MORE
Parking was a breeze and it is super close the start/finish line. Plenty of area near the start to leave a drop bag that doesn’t take you far off course. I only knew one person there but wouldn’t know that as the race started because there were so many competitors and staff cheering everyone on throughout the race. Super fun and friendly atmosphere.
There was some rain the night before which left some small sections of the course a soggy and muddy mess. It was no a big issue if you were smart and slowed down and not afraid of getting your feet wet.
The elevation is small enough that it was not something to worry about. Until going around the loop enough times and it starts to add up.
The trai is all dirt (other than a wooden path if you choose to take it.
I have been able to get off course even when someone says in a pre race briefing, but there was none of that with this course. It was well marked.
It didn’t matter if I was getting passed or in the rare occurrence I passed someone, there was always an exchange of encouragement.
I was just shy of reaching the goal I set for myself but I was filled with gratitude from the nice interactions with runners and staff and the beautiful scenery as the sun came up that I was pleased at the end of it.
The medal was very specific to the event and was high quality. It’s a fun medal that sticks out among my other medals.
The race photographer was busy taking lots of photos at many different locations. I can’t wait to see them.
Highly recommend this race.
