"I have done hundreds of races, and I have to say the race organization over the past weekend is by far the most impressive, and what is amazing about that is that it was for a race that was over 24 hrs long.

Wild West Relay review
i have to agree this is a very scenic, well run, well organized relay - clean bathrooms, lots of volunteers, tons of food available, good meal at end, decent tech shirt, responsive race director, generally positive and supportive participants. my only caveat would be if you are seriously traffic shy, there are legs on this you might want to avoid, but i don't want to scare anyone needlessly - i have done it two years in a row and not been scared, but you do have to respect the fact that you are on some roads with fast moving traffic. otherwise it is a really beautiful race through lots of beautiful mountainous land. i highly recommend it!
