 "Marathon in the Arizona sun" (about: 2015)
50+ previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Easy to enter online. Convenient venue - plenty of parking. Great pre-race food (too early for hotel breakfast). Well-marked flat course - traffic free along urban/riverside parks with friendly, frequent aid stations. Nice medal and t-shirt. Would recommend. | |

 "Good Half, but room for improvement" (about: 2014)

COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1 This was my second half and it was also a smaller, local race. To be frank, I wasn't impressed with the run's presentation leading up to the run. While I got all the appropriate e-mails and that, the site for the run is low-rent and awful and all the payment, etc. is done through another local site run by the same company, StartLine Racing. Well, whatever. PROS: - Enthusiastic, organized organizers. They had a kids run going and the spectacle seemed pretty good for being an event this small. - Being small, it was a quiet race and the crowd thinned pretty quick. - Plenty of aid stations. - Medal is big and heavy, although I would've preferred a different lanyard for doing the half, rather than a metal title that hangs via the medal's hooks. CONS: - The expo was all the way over in North Scottsdale, which is essentially the entire Metro Phoenix area away from where the race was taking place. That was weird. - The venue is boring to look at, running on a paved trail running along a dry river bed. It's brown and uninteresting. Heading south toward Grand Avenue, you get good open views, but heading back north steers you under a number of bridges, one not-as-easy segment with one right after the other, and behind a Midas and tons of houses. There's a small dirt section, but it's paved for 90% of the rest of it. - No crowds. No cheering. - A race coordinator needing to verify my bib and name after finishing. Weird. - Mile markers that were, according to my GPS, up to a third of a mile off from where they were supposed to be. - An aid station in which attendants weren't attending the aid station, but were instead perched against a railing on the other side of the trail chatting. Uh, okay. I guess for a first-time run, this was pretty decent, but sometimes it felt like amateur hour. I'd like to give it another go, but if the act isn't put together better next time around, I can't say I'd go again. | |

 "Great race that deserves to grow..." (about: 2014)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 NYC in AZ Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 First year event and its simplicity was refreshing. Race director on top of everything, answered emails quickly, race started on time, easy access at start/finish/parking. On asphalt and concrete rural paths. Very quiet; just you and the runners (only 35 in the full this year)zero spectators. Mostly flat with a few 'hills' and downgrades throughout. Plenty of water/Gatorade/gels on course. It was cloudy, windy at times, and cool for a while but the sun came out. On a normal day, this course will have full sun exposurebe prepared for that. No first aid on the course and that could be a challenge if the desert heat is onsince it's so remote on the course, that could be an issuethis year it was in the 70s so no worries. Medal and shirt are fine, packet pick-up easy. About 200 ran the half. The course is on a city park multi-use pathmost bikers and walkers co-existed without incident. Nice, simple race that should grow with timebudget-priced and very friendly volunteers everywhere. Can't go wrong with this race. |
