  • Comments: This is the first year for the race and they had issues, mostly related to the buses, which didn't affect me so I can't comment on them. They have some kinks to workout but for a first year it was well done. Tons of volunteers, medical staff, etc. Aid stations were spaced far apart but they let everyone know that ahead of time and warned people to bring water. Honestly, you simply cannot bet the views of Mt Lemmon. That alone made it an awesome race.

  • Comments: I give this race a 2 for the following reasons. 1) Vendors and Buses packed up and left way before the 10 hour close time. 2) Race start and information supplied was pretty piss poor. All questions were answered with, "It's on the website". Several of these answers had to be found through DIGGING through the site. Very important information was changed at the last minute (Parking areas and Route), without so much as an email, or at very least notification in the packet. 3) Packet was worthless. No freebies, only got a foam football. The medal at the end looked like my 6 year old nephew made it in his pottery class. (Most of us didn't even get the band part, only the ceramic medal. 4) Due to the lack of Buses after hour 5, many of us (including yours truly) had to hitchhike back down the mountain. (VERY LAME)

  • Comments: For an inaugural race I think it was very well done and I would highly recommend it, if you like this sort of thing.
