Jack And Jills Downhill Marathon (saturday) Reviews

  Great race for runners and BQing

By Henry Eimstad about 2018

Review

It's a smaller and very well run race. It's nice to run in smaller races sometimes. The course is a long, continuous, easy down hill. I was worried about the heat which was projected in the 90s but it was 60s at the start, 70s at the finish and the course is mostly in shade- except for the 2 miles in a tunnel. I BQed so it's one of my favorite courses!

Race Tips

Hard to pass in the tunnel which kept me from going out too fast. I don't usually carry water but I did for this race because I was worried about the heat.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

My wife drove me to the start and picked me up at the finish which saved a few hours in the morning.
