Running at night in the desert is really special! I recommend everyone do it at least once. I wouldn’t necessarily say that you need to do this race to do that though. This race company is very organized. The course entries are expensive and they don’t do a great job with snacks and swag. The race expo could have been way better. More vendors would have really filled it out. Since they had a captive audience they really needed to have more things to offer. The participants in this race obviously were not accustomed to trail running and trail running procedures(Stay right, except to pass) so that was frustrating, but hey, nothing is perfect.To repeat myself. This race is worth doing at least once. I am not in a hurry to sign up for another one with VR.

This race is amazing! The course was extremely challenging and gorgeous! I am not from the Seattle area so I didn’t know anyone. Some of the other people running were really nice but for the most part it was like being the new kid in school everyone had their cliches and if you were apart of it you basically didn’t exist. No one cheered when you crossed the line. I have never been to a race where that happened. At the very least the race organizers should at least give a thumbs up. This is definitely a trail run and definitely not for a beginner runner! If you plan on doing this race make sure you train and train and train some more. I definitely recommend this course.

I adore WHY racing and all the races I have done with them are always wonderful! Long Beach is such a cute town. I love that the last mile of this race is on the beach. The course is an out and back which is not my favourite. I prefer loops. It would be great if more of this run was on the beach! The Discovery trail is nice but can be kind of boring. This is a great flat course if you are looking for a fast race this is the one. Great swag and awesome snacks at end of race! Do this race!
