Vacation Races know how to put on a race! Prior to the race, the communication from the RD was awesome. Parking info, expo, weather, race day...everything was covered! Expo was fun. There was a fun pic opportunity with the four presidents (characters) next to a Mt. Rushmore sign which we all took advantage of. Race Day: anyone staying in Keystone had the ability to walk to the finish line which was super convenient. They offer a raffle from 5 to 6 am to encourage runners to be on time and the race started on time which I always appreciate. The course started at elevation of approx 5,000 feet and climbed up approx 1500 feet. The views were spectacular and the bridges we crossed over and the tunnels we crossed through were super cool. The only part of the course I didn't like was the last 3 miles when cars were allowed to share the course with us. Although there weren't a lot of cars, I didn't care for them being on the course at all. Finish line was great! They provide the usual chocolate milk and bananas, but they also provide a race box full of snacks. The medal is huge! I adored this race!
