I heard about this race from Oiselle as a planned meet up opportunity for the Volée team and I am so glad I attended. This event is geared toward women with bright swag, a beautiful medal and tons of pre & post race photo ops.
With 5k, 10k and half marathon options, the race runs along the Arizona Canal Trail in Phoenix desert. The course itself it a bit uneventful but fairly flat (there were a couple underpasses that you went down and back up). Could be a good course to PR on, and if you are in the Phoenix area you should add it to your list.

Pros:
*Tons of race day parking
*Huge staging area for event, lots of room to meet up with friends before and after race
*Gorgeous medal and awesome jacket/pullover
*Post race food of bagels, fruit and drinks
*Easy to navigate course
*Race day packet pick up
*Nicely spread aid stations
*Post race raffle

Cons:
*No packet pick up the day before
*Boring course, no crowd support
*No shade on course (luckily it began before it got too warm)

Overall this is a great event for a big group meet up and to try and snag a PR.
