This race was the most beautiful race I've ever done - and Vacation Races puts on a great race! I can't recommend this race highly enough. From registration to the finish line, the communication was easy to consume and understand. It's easy to get answers - and it's easy to change your bib to someone else. And, if - god forbid - you need to call someone with a question you can't find an answer to, rest assured that you will get a prompt and friendly returned call.

Parking/Race Access - This was a little more complicated than I would have liked, but it's to be expected. This is a point to point race through gorgeous canyonlands and geographic features. There is ONE MAIN HIGHWAY...and the race runs along it. Just know that the information that Vacation Races is sending you may seem intense, or complicated, or like you're arriving way too early - but they have thought of everything for you and are trying to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Start Line - It had rained - and maybe even snowed - the night before the race. By the start of the race, MANY runners had a ton of red clay dirt caked to their precious running shoes, and everyone was a little bit chilled. The race is quite large and starts in reasonably sized waves.

Course - I can't aptly describe the outstanding views, the sense of being so small when next to such huge geologic feathers, and the pure joy of running in that area.

Post-Race - I was thrilled to get a box of snacky goodies post-race - which included chocolate milk.

Again, this race is amazing and you should definitely add it to your wish list!
