I really enjoyed the race, Iam glad that runners were released in waves because it made the traffic less congested. The one thing I wish was that if you are a walker to wait for the walking race. It makes it difficult to maneuver around the walkers while running. I liked

Excellent scenery and well organized event. Tough trails at altitude - but worth the views. Ragnar Village is spread out on a soccer and baseball field so nice soft grass to pitch camp. A rec center at the village provides showers and a pool so it's far from roughing it.

I thought the race was beautiful and extremely well run. There was tons of aid on the run course which helped a lot on the hot day. A choice of local wine or beer growlers made the awards worth aiming for!
Challenges include one rough mile or so on a bike path
