Elite  3602     Mesa, AZ |  Subject: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10KI am still on a Flagstaff high (maybe it was the lack of oxygen) but I was thinking about whether or not I want to do this race again. It was definitely one of the funnest races I have EVER done. High on the hardcore factor though: - All trail - Rain (snowy slush) - Cold - Mud - Starts at insane elevation, climbs to even "insaner"  elevation But check out the pics: (Play SPOT the SPORTY) http://www.azdailysun.com/story_tools/player/?type=newsmaker&id=14 Race Website All trails are 100% off-road with varying (single-track, cross-country, dirt roads) terrain. Elevation gains are approximately 2200 feet for the full marathon, 1100 feet for the half-marathon, and 450 feet for the 10Km loop. The course ranges from 8000 feet to 8600 feet above sea level. The marathon has been described as the most scenic and difficult marathon in the Southwest. Let me know if anyone else is interested! Flagstaff house ROUND TWO? |

Master 2411 Goodyear, AZ | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K I'd have to carry an oxygen tank with me! That sounds like fun- maybe the 10k or half. I'll have to talk to the fam about it! |

Extreme Veteran 384 Mountain View, CA | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K Definitely would be interested in the 10k. I love altitude and cold, crappy weather. Since it's all trail and hills and altitude I might be able to convince Z to do it as well. We have strange conditions for things we enjoy.  |

| Master 1662 Flagstaff and Phoenix, AZ | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K I can put up one person, no kids, no dogs, no meat, and no partying because I need sleep the night before the race. So, basically if you're ready for a convent, you can stay with me.  |

| Master 2216 | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K Paulette, you always have a free place to stay while you're here. There's even a Lil' Guy waiting to share a bed with you!! We can talk about sharing a ride up here as well. I'd like to be in for the 1/2 marathon!! (of course this goes with a disclaimer for not being injured from training for the run). |

| Master 1662 Flagstaff and Phoenix, AZ | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K That's a tough one because it's all trails and pretty rocky ones. No smooth surface. It'll be a lot of effort concentrating on your step. Do you run rough trails at all in training? I mean those that aren't just gravel roads but single-track hiking trail kinda trails? |

| Elite 3602 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K Peej - J and I ran alot of Usery to train for it last year. There will be walking, as there are parts of the trail that are snowshoe trails and you literally cannot run up it (its like single footing) but knowing you and your crazy sense of adventure you would probably LOVE it. It was my slowest half by far but it went by so quickly. It is a 2 loop race though and I kinda hate those as they give you an easy out to just do the half buuuuut again knowing you I am sure you would not. The female winner last year was 3:51 so there are some pretty hardcore runners, but the average finisher time was 4:46. I mean 2200 feet of elevation gain? Thats like running yesterdays bike course!!! Awesome. |

| Extreme Veteran 488 Phoenix | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K No effing way! I tried to run this morning before I left Flagstaff, and my little 3 mile run was killing me. I just can't handle the air up there. Besides, I'll be preparing for the Longhorn as well. That's my excuse. |

| Master 2216 | Subject: RE: Flagstaff Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K Well, if I'm up in Flag that weekend, I'll try to keep you company. If it entails running at your pace, then I won't be able to hang. LOL! Of course you know you also have a free place to stay if you need it too! |
