COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1 Have run the November 'NY in AZ' version of this so I tried the Spring version. Too warmneeds an earlier start. Mostly concrete, shared path with halfers and local bikers/peds but thins out after the half. Full sun, no shade. Some rollers. Scant water stopsshould've had one every mile for the last 6 or 7, esp. with the heat. Zero first aid which could be an issue on the 13-26 barren stretch. Medal and ribbon had no date on it. Pluses: walker-friendly, started on time, plenty of pre- and post-race food, easy packet pick up, no time limit to finish. Mile markers should have been on opposite sides and directional signs/cones were missing or blown over. Friendly volunteers, race director, updated emails. Priced a bit high for such a no-frills race. Still, a nice simple race without big crowds or access issues. |
