  • Comments: This race was pretty boring!! Not much to keep the mind occupied and the race is fairly small...only 1000 marathoners. There was no clocks on the whole course....not even at the halfway point. Also, the post race stuff sucked. They handed me water at the finish.....water!! I think I need a little more than water at this point. Plus there was no gatorade, powerade, or soft drinks after the race. They had like vitamin water and stuff like that. I need a lot more sugar and calories than that stuff can provide. I was pretty disappointed with the post race. However the course is fast and there are plenty of aid stations!! So the race itself was well managed. That's the only reason I would recommend the race but next year I hear the race is moving downtown so it might not be quite as fast!!

  • Comments: This is such a cool race on a fabulous course and with great organization. I am so sad that they will be changing the course and the date next year and I won't be able to return. (It conflicts with IMAZ next year) I will always have fond memories of the two Tucson Marathons I have run :)
