Half Marathon · RunSedona — 13.1 miles through the red rocks

The course

One climb up
one cruise home

The shortest distance of the weekend: a quick downhill start, one steady climb to the turnaround — where the red rock view is the reward — and a downhill run all the way home. First-timers love it, PR chasers fly on it, and strollers roll right along.
