I live in Moab, Utah so it's hard to wow me on the scenery. It was nice until we got near the highway and then it was pretty noisy and mostly city running although at least on that part of the course, there was plenty of room to spread out. The first few (and very fast) miles were coned off so that there was only a half lane to run in. I understand the pilot cars and keeping the course open to traffic but a full lane would have been much appreciated, especially in the first 6 miles where there were lots of runners.
The elevation is lower than where I live so that is good as well. I certainly enjoyed the course and may do it again next year.
