  • Comments: Elite racing does an amazing job organizing. The corrals make sense, the cheerleaders make a difference, the reunion area make it easy to find loved ones after the race, the food is plentiful and appropriate (I once ran a race where they had snickers and donuts at the end!). Really enjoyed this race but a marathon is no joke!

  • Comments: Could have had better selections of food post race!. I got yelled at for sitting on big bags of ice in the recovery area. Who puts mountains of ice bags at the end of a marathon and doesn't expect somebody to sit on them...

  • Comments: Great race, lots of volunteers, nice flat course. I just don't know if I'd do another January marathon because of Colorado weather and training in the snow. I would suggest they not have the packet pickup/expo in downtown Phoenix. The $30 parking fees close to the expo were beyond ridiculous, and I felt like I was driving in NYC with the gridlocked traffic.

  • Comments: Overall, I have to be happy that I completed my first marathon. However, my average pace has been about 8:30 regardless of distance. I did 1:53 in the HM last year and really should have been able to run sub 4 hours with proper training.

  • Comments: The volunteers were very attentive. They assessed my situation and made sure I was able to walk / get back to my car. I met a lot of nice and friendly people! It was my first trip to Phoenix and I enjoyed it.

  • Comments: no spenco flip flops, bagels, or towel this year, I'm not gonna lie, that really disappointed me. I also thought parking was a disaster.
