"Along the river was the best part" (General Comments)

COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3

I ran the Stampede Road Race in 2001. The course along the river and through the zoo is the best part. A large portion of the race is through some residential neighborhoods that were not very exciting. It really wasn't pancake flat. Not exactly hilly either, but there were some significant rises. Nothing like running in the mountains. It just depends upon your perspective. It did seem like there were too many events going on simultaneously and this detracted somewhat from the marathon - 10K, 2-person relay, 5-person relay, tough to keep track of everything. It is a good vacation destination race since you can take in the Stampede Rodeo and the Canadian Rockies in the same trip.

"Pancake course" (about: 2000)

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 3

I completed this event in 1999 & 2000. Overall, a roadway/street run (40%), (40%)parkway and rest residential-like. The final 12Km on bike path along a river (who cares...everyone is stretched out anyway) - all paved. Runs thru a portion of the zoo at start...feed the critters a Power Bar! This one is flat as they come (one overpass and a small rise at approx. 25Km. Water stations could be closer, but are amply supplied.

Come out and take in the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede; drive to Banff in 1.5 hour.
