Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
Very fun atmosphere. I felt safe, cared for, cheered on, and celebrated. Once finishing at the Plaza, I felt so happy and the whole thing was colorful. My medal is hanging in the living room, its a hot air balloon shaped one!
Its a dry heat and altitude, so bring a sunscreen and a hat!
Plenty of hotels and parking nearby.
Great race, well organized. The course was super flat and beautiful. Plenty of energy gels, water and Gatorade. Cheers teams along the way. The finish line was very colorful and showed NM culture.
It's dry heat, so put on your sunscreen and light clothing. Its 5000 ft of altitude but I did not feel it.
Plenty of hotels withing walking distance to the start line. They had a gear check, so nothing to worry about.
