Great first marathon
The only things I new about this marathon was that it was above 5000 feet, it was on trails, and it was downhill. I was scared about the altitude, but happy I wouldn't be pounding pavement, and that I wouldn't have to do a lot of vertical. The race ended up being a real pleasure, with just enough people from two races to let me know I hadn't wandered off course.
The altitude ended up being no big deal- I ran way faster than I expected. The aid stations were perfect, spaced every 2-3miles. My only complaint is the course marking could have used a few pylons(or a human) at the 1st turnaround to make it more obvious- Many of us probably ran an extra 1/8 -1/2 mile because we were focused on running instead of the smudged chalk. Other than that every marking worked OK. The organizers had a great attitude, and were universally helpful. Bottom line, this is a 'must do' race IMHO.
