R. T. from EL Paso Texas (12/12/2023)
"Smaller Venue and very Isolated" (about: 2023)

50+ previous marathons | 1 Holloman Ace of Races Marathon
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 1


This was a first time (inaugural) for this race. I ran the 26.2 and going out to the turn around was very challenging due to the wind. The race is out in the desert on the airfield. However, the turn around put the wind in our backs and provided the push to the finish. Logistics were great but package pickup on race morning would have been a plus , since I lived 90 miles away in EL PASO. This was my 89th Full Marathon, so I have experiences with this distance.
