Expo- Small, but had everything you needed if you forgot something
T-shirts/ Swag- They were OK. Not the best shirts I've ever seen, but certainly not the worst.
Course Scenery- AMAZING. Do this race JUST for the views. So beautiful - you will NOT regret it.
Elevation- Gave it two stars because it is at a higher elevation than what some may be used to. Coming from Colorado, it felt fairly "easy" to me - not many hills and pretty downhill.
Parking/ Access- I walked to the start line buses/ finish line from my hotel, so I wouldn't know. It did look a bit congested, but still small enough race where I don't think it would be too much of a pain to drive to the finish area.
Race Management- Very well done and great communication. A super laid-back event (helped calm any pre-race jitters I had). Love that they went paperless for it.
Aid Stations- I thought they were well dispersed, but I didn't end up using any aid along the course so I gave it 3 * based off how it looked!
Overall- Definitely do this race if nothing else for the scenery and opportunity to explore Moab post-race.
