The race was incredibly well run. Coffee and water to start the day, compost toilets stationed everywhere, the aid stations were stocked with fruits, water, trail mixes, pretzels, and hydration drinks (Gnarly brand) and more if you ran a farther distance. It was a no waste event so they either provided reusable cups or I recommend bringing a bottle you can refill. (This was explained while signing up for the race and in the emails prior). The volunteers and race organizers were incredibly nice and supportive. The course was gorgeous with nice views, well marked, and was a lot of sand so be prepared! I will definitely do this one again and more races hosted by Vacation Races
The bib pick up was fantastic, fast and easy.Getting there the morning of the half marathon, bathrooms were well organized and there were heated huts and fires for staying warm! Very cool on the Indian reservation.The scenes we're breathtaking. The beginning of the race was a little chaotic with the small trail and the large amount of people.Aid stations were top notch, you needed to bring your own cup/bottle for drinking cause of the Indian reservation.Food at the end was delicious! Medals we're fantastic!!! Would love to do again
I loved the experience. The run in most sections was so beautiful (almost stacked it a couple times when taking it all in and not watching my feet). The only reason this scores low cos the course really isn't set up for spectators. But that's ok. I drew energy from the stunning surrounds. Will def do another vacation race again!
This was my first destination run and I enjoyed it. The start was a bit congested and I wish I had started in the first heat. Overall it was a great experience and Im glad I did it. I also appreciate having less waste by not using disposable cups.
