Rock 'n' Roll Arizona

Loved the course! Definitely a must-do. Running the desert in the winter? Is there a better time in the Southwest?

It was really well organized and with the live bands and the crowds throughout the course, it was quite entertaining... The finishers' zone was fabulous with the pizza and snacks, etc. The vibe was great. The only construction criticism I would make would be, the course wasn't exactly a fast course, as we had to run up inclining hills for quite some time. Also, unlike other Rock N' Roll full marathons, this time the organizers decided to cut the costs by skipping on the finishers' jacket, which has always been a great selling point for these events. Other than that, fun and joy... Kudos.....

Running over the bridge during the last stretch of the race was something to remember, as it was scorching hot, and we finished at the Tempe "Beach" park.....
