Short version: This is literally the most poorly managed race I've ever done. I was pretty annoyed with all the hassles last year, so was on the fence about doing it again. But even though it is only a month away, they don't seem to be doing any better

The race started with a flyover and we were off on live runways! It was a clear Colorado morning, had a great start, no crowding and plenty of space to spread out. Finished my best time! Lots of giveaways and finisher medals. It's an added plus to know you're helping people
