Race Report
The Kodiak was extremely beautiful. Lots of fall colors. If you are not used to elevation, com earlier to climate. There were some experienced runners that DNFed or threw up a lot due to the altitude. There was one big hill at the beginning and another one at the end. But it was not extremely technical or difficult.
Pro Tips for First-Time Racers
That it was better to go pee in the nature because the lines for bathrooms at the aid stations were long.
