• Overall course based on my ability: Too hard


• Comments: This is the hardest Half Marathon in the world. You think your strength is in your msucles? Wait until you feel the death grip of Altitude and you'll know your strength is in Oxygen Delivery to those Muscles. At about 12,500ft that whole "Will to Live" thing, it becomes SO over-rated. Make it to the 14,115ft Summit and wear yourself some pride... you know, after you get back down to about 7,000ft and can have Pride again. Very organized, well supported, and loved/hated by all who attempt it. Come and get some!

• Comments: This is an amazing race that is suprisingly well organized based on the logistics. Getting the volunteers and aid stations up to where they need to be and getting the racers down after is quite a feat.
