Love this race, so when I moved out of state, I continue to sign up for the virtual race. Sad to report that I never received my race packet this year.
I love Wickenburg's Wild West Run, I have ran in it for 5 years and it is a great fun family event. It is well coordinated and the course is great.
My mom and a few friends put on this run and they do a great job. All the money raised goes to Youth clubs of Wickenburg. I have ran this twice and it is great and the atmosphere down there is so fun. Everyone should give it a try.
This is always a fun event for my family. I have participated in it both with my kids and by myself. My children love the 1 mile fun run! It helps support the community too.
Be sure to train on hills for this, the course is out and back, and the out is mostly uphill. It runs out of town and down Vulture Mine Road, the same stretch as Ragnar, and the desert scenery is fantastic. The course support was great, there were water stations every 1.5 miles or so, hosted by local teams and running clubs. I enjoyed the whole experience and will be running again in 2020.
My husband and I participated in this race twice. It’s at the perfect time of year for quality AZ weather and is a great way to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. One year I ran competitively and the next year I was pregnant so I walked with a friend—both times were a blast! My husband competed 3 times— the 5k, 10k and 1/2 marathon. The team does a great job at organizing the event, while supplying fun Wild West props as well as snacks and some entertainment. Really anyone can have a great time at this event!
Last year was my first time running this race and it was one for the books. I did the 1/2 marathon and let me tell ya, this course is TOUGH! Definitely not what I was expecting, but that's on me as I should have looked at the elevation map better. However, I still had a great time and the course support was really well done, especially for a race this small. Very impressed with the organization and the before and after fun that they offer. Excited for round 2 this year and I'm recruiting as many of my running buddies as I can! :)
This was my first Half Marathon and it was awesome! The Course was wonderful and everything was so well organized.
A great experience! Thank you to all involved who made this a funtastic experience.
I have now done this race 3 times. Every year it keeps getting better. It's fun to have a local race. I will definitely be doing it again.
